Let’s talk Glasgow
In the summer of 2016 Wei-K relocated to Glasgow city from Haarlem/Amsterdam and something struck Wei-K deeply. Having never lived in Glasgow before, Wei-K explored many facets of Glasgow and its uniqueness from other cities.
There are plenty of times where Wei-K finds good energy vibes from the city for inspiration and trying new ideas, the warmth from people are also very welcoming. However, at the same time, Wei-K find plenty of frustration with people’s attitude about not taking care of the city, especially with the issues of littering, smoking, drinking and vandalising of public properties. Hence in this set of porcelain wares, Wei-K celebrate both the uniqueness of the diversity of Glaswegians, as well as its contradiction. Different people were asked to say the word Glasgow, which was then recorded and translated into soundwaves onto speech-bubble shaped porcelain plates.
They say “People Make Glasgow”, it is very true.
