「原土計畫」試片、原土計畫瓶 “Soil Plan”: Samples, “Soil Plan”: Vases
土星工作室最早使用購買的陶土進行創作，但發現市售的陶土品質波動不定，甚至每批手感和顏色都有明顯差異。這種差異性激發了創辦人彭奕軒、黃虹毓開始深入台灣各地，蒐集當地土壤進行解析與實驗。
兩人發現，土壤狀態隨地域而異，每一塊土壤都記錄了環境與時間的痕跡。透過「原土計畫」的試片，不僅能觸摸到在地情感，更能看見土地的多樣性與價值。基於這樣的理念，土星工作室以在地土材製作功能性陶器，讓作品不僅具藝術性，還與日常生活緊密結合，成為實用的生活器物。此外，「原土計畫」以公開數據與燒製成果的方式，鼓勵更多創作者參與這項文化運動，推廣以在地土壤創作的可能性。
Tu Xing Studio initially worked with purchased clay for their creations but found that the quality of commercially available clay varied greatly, with noticeable differences in texture and color between batches. This inconsistency prompted founders Peng Yi-Hsuan and Huang Hung-Yu to explore and collect local soils across Taiwan for analysis and experimentation.
They discovered that soil conditions varied by region, and each piece recorded the traces of the environment and time. Through the "Soil Plan’s" soil samples, one can not only touch local emotions but also see the diversity and value of the land. With this concept in mind, Tu Xing Studio uses local soils to create functional pottery, blending artistry with everyday life to produce practical items. Additionally, this project also encourages more creators to join this cultural movement by providing public data and firing results, promoting the possibilities of creating with local soil.
土星工作室 Tu Xing Studio
土星工作室成立於2014年，由陶藝家黃虹毓與影像創作者彭奕軒共同經營，致力於探索陶藝與土地的深厚聯繫。兩人秉持著對臺灣土地的熱愛，透過蒐集臺灣各地的土壤，將不同地域的土質轉化為陶藝作品，開啟了《原土計畫》的創作。
本次展出的《原土計畫》致力於收集臺灣各地的土片，並進行燒製與實驗，探索每一種土壤的特性和可能性。蒐集來的土壤樣本都經過仔細的挑選與實驗，最終轉化為具有藝術價值的陶藝作品，從中展現大地生命力與當地的文化底蘊。此外，工作室也積極舉辦陶藝課程和工作坊，讓更多人有機會接觸陶藝並體驗創作過程。透過這些活動，土星工作室不僅推廣陶藝技藝，也促進了創作者之間的交流與合作，為臺灣的陶土藝術帶來新風貌。
Tu Xing Studio was established in 2014, co-managed by ceramic artist Huang Hung-Yu and visual artist Peng Yi-Hsuan, dedicated to exploring the deep connection between ceramics and the land. With a shared love for the land of Taiwan, they collect soil from various regions and transform the different types of soil into ceramic artworks, initiating the "Soil Plan."
This project focuses on gathering soil samples from different areas in Taiwan, subjecting them to firing and experimentation to uncover the distinctive properties and possibilities of each type of soil. Carefully selected and tested, these soil samples are ultimately transformed into ceramic works of artistic value, reflecting the vitality of the land and the cultural essence of their origins. Beyond creating art, Tu Xing Studio actively hosts ceramic courses and workshops, offering more people the opportunity to engage with ceramics and experience the creative process. Through these activities, the studio not only promotes ceramic craftsmanship but also fosters collaboration and exchange among artists, bringing a fresh perspective to Taiwan’s ceramic art landscape.
