Our Brooms (Participating Artist: Luke Ching)

 

Brooms lying on the street corner are indeed fables of the city.

Though street sweepers are not witches or wizards, each of them knows how to make the broom of his/her very own. Take a closer look at those brooms, see? They were made up of different plants. They are not dead objects. On the contrary, they do have magic. In our playground, the broom regulates fallen leaves to suit the seasonal mood. Brooms always belong to our parks and playgrounds, channelling with those fallen leaves, leaving no traces but stories about us.

The project will recruit a team of “researchers”. Through studying plants and the method of upcycling them, we will uncover the folk wisdom behind and the unlimited possibilities of tool making. Let’s unlock the stories and unleash the capability of brooms.
