小树枝

In 2004 I went to Dacca, the capital of Bangladesh. I visited a village nearby and there was an international art workshop going on. In such a remote village, artists had to get rid of their original working habits and familiar experience, and started new adventure and exploration. Artists took advantage of local and ecological materials to do experiment: quilt, henhouse, dried branch, mud, leaves, agricultural appliance and even their bodies.

2004年我赴孟加拉首都达卡，考查旁边的一个小村庄，那里正进行的一个国际艺术工作坊，在这个远离都市的小乡村，艺术家们要抛弃原有的工作习惯和原来熟悉的经验，进行新的冒险和探索，艺术家们因地制宜地利用现有和原生态的生活材料来进行尝试：被子、鸡圈、干树枝、泥团、树叶、家什农具甚至自己的身体。

I muttered, knocking my knuckles through the glass, and stretching an arm out to seize the branch; instead of which, my fingers closed on the fingers of a little, ice-cold hand!

Behold!'Tis but a fair wood sprite perched upon a mossy branch in the misty gloaming of a midsummer's eve!

I sometimes fib about trimming limbs off the trees in the yard,' says a small-business owner in Kentucky, who admits he's been known to go overboard with a handsaw.

He had made the hut tidy, put the little table and chair near the fireplace, left a little pile of kindling and small logs, and put the tools and traps away as far as possible, effacing himself. Outside, by the clearing, he had built a low little roof of boughs and straw, a shelter for the birds, and under it stood the live coops.

他把小屋收拾得很整洁，把小桌子和小椅子摆在火炉旁边，放了一堆起火的柴和小木头，把工具和捕兽机推到很无宾角落里去，好象为了要消灭他自己的形迹似的，屋外边，在那靠近树林的空地上，他用树枝和稻草搭了个矮小的棚，是给小雄鸡避风雨的，在这棚下有五只木笼子。
