standing branch spoon

He Kaining , 2016

At first I was supposed to make a tea spoon that can stand by itself, so that we can keep the spoon clean and use it more comfortably. Then the shape of branches and leaves caught my eye. The natural shape makes the spoon's line seems more soft and easy to touch. It's not only a branch but also a cut branch,which makes the spoon a little more interesting. People may even wonder how it stands. At last, I adjusted the branch to a more artificial shape that fits one's hand. People who use it may see and feel the spoon is not just a thing but a creature.
