UNTITLED

下雪只是為了灌溉

森林與斜坡 , 而懂得

或不懂得滑雪的人始終需要下來

放棄一時的高度

他們待機會來臨之時往更高的地方

拋下痕跡 , 像那些從水底上升的水泡

或另一種轉化成雲的隱喻

曲線是必然的

我深信這是前行的方式

Snowfalls are to feed

The forests and hillsides, and those who know how

Or don’t know how to ski at the end always need to get down,

Giving up that momentary height.

They wait for the next opportunity to get to an even higher place

Dropping traces, like bubbles that rise from the bottom of the water

Or it’s another metaphor that talks about how they transform into clouds.

Curves are inevitable, and

I am convinced that this is the way to go.

Chinese Scholars’ Rock

a scholar’s rock

is restless discerning

a hard sponge

it evokes a mountain’s teats

before earth’s milk came

it will calm you

into lesser and lesser headaches

the highest mountain

has cloud roots

some pudding stone

some soapstone

limestone

black green grey white

pre-meek and scowling mild

an overhanging peak

is a hardened groan

Chinese Scholars's Rock, Limestone, China, Qing Dynasty (1664-1911),

Metropolitan Museum, New York

Note:

There is an excellent essay about the appeal and the possible meanings of

Chinese Scholars’ Rocks by Nancy Rosenblum in Sherry

Turkle ed., Evocative Objects: Things We Think With (Cambridge: MIT

Press, 2007), pp. 254-259.

Hair Colouring Experiments During Covid by Tobi Asmoucha

The portraits of my daughter were taken during the pandemic lockdowns in

Ontario. The Toronto lockdowns being one of the longest in the world, came

along at a time of adolescent transition that interested me as a mother and

documentary photographer.

Madagascar (March, 2010) – It was magical;

the light trying to burst through the clouds,

through the humidity suspended in the air.

Dense was the mist and fog that we could

barely see past the first layer of trees. As we

moved closer to our destination, evidence

of landslides and eroded earthly tumbles

became more prominent. Despite the fog and

resulting humidity, each train-stop provided a

lively exchange.

Three Cibachrome

Photograms in Triptych

(1991)

Three Cibachrome Photograms in Triptych (1991)

Three vintage unique photogram panels (each measures 32 x 24 inch) were produced

for a four-person exhibition, Pin-Pun (1991), with Lau Kin-Wai, Lau Ching-Ping, and

Lee Ka-Sing. Pin-Pun was inaugurated at the Hong Kong Fringe Club and went on tour

to the Hong Kong Chinese university and Hong Kong Polytechnic University in the

same year. In 2015, the three Cibachrome Photograms were shown again in my solo

exhibition “Holly Lee’s vintage photography works, DUOS / TRIOS, Photo Works from

1989 to 1997”.

Take-Me from the Archival Bin

This is an art-give-away program.

In the past years, we have accumulated a

certain amount of artifacts – from work prints,

exhibition prints to test prints, etc. We set

up this art-give-away program and hope

some of these works can fall into the hands

of their beholders. Though these items are

free, we will require a shipping fee for each

lot (US$18.00) in order to keep this project

running. Delivery will be via mail system

only (anywhere).

First and foremost, this program is to benefit

the PATREON members, furthermore, readers

of the MONDAY ARTPOST. We will post one

lot every week on the last page of MONDAY

ARTPOST, and PATREON members will receive

the notification one day in advance.

To subscribe PATREON membership -

https://patreon.com/DoubleDoubleStudio

Every lot is one-off. Items will not be larger

than 8x10 inch, condition is ‘as is’ and no

additional information or description will be

provided, we want to keep the operation as

simple as possible.

It is also a journey of gem discovery, the

sweet reaping of one’s apple of the eye.
