Woven Bamboo Dustpan and Basket: Hung on the Wall as Decoration

Several old bamboo woven farm implements are hung on a plain wall as decoration: a winnowing basket (bènji), two round shallow baskets of different sizes, and a vegetable basket with a handle. The bamboo material varies in color from light beige to deep honey, with older pieces being darker. The weaving patterns differ—there's loose hexagonal weaving, tight herringbone weaving, and reinforced coiled edges. Some bamboo strips are broken or frayed, and the edges are smoothed from wear. They are hung on the wall at different heights and angles, forming a layered, three-dimensional composition that casts intricate grid-like shadows on the wall. Avoid: using brand new bleached bamboo products, arranging them in a neat straight line, adding modern decorative frames, eliminating signs of use and damage.

一面素色牆上懸掛著數件舊的竹編農家器物當作裝飾:一只畚箕、兩個大小不同的圓形淺籃、一個帶提把的菜籃。竹material 的顏色從淺米黃到深蜜糖色不等,越舊的越深;編法各不相同——有六角孔的疏編、緊密的人字編、與加強邊緣的纏繞收口。有些器物的竹篾已經斷裂或起毛,邊緣被磨得圓滑。它們以不同的高度與角度掛在牆上,構成一組有層次的立體構圖,在牆上投下細密的格狀陰影。避免:使用全新漂白的竹編品、把它們排成整齊的一直線、加入現代裝飾框、消除使用痕跡與破損。
