Journal // Autumn Moments

we could touch the flowing of time,
as the leather grows darker day by day;
the lines of the weaving baskets goes softer;
the kintsugi joints the potteries;
and the edges of canvas bags fade.

little by little,
it is the accumulated moments that archives us.

at times we look back,
the traces of the old leathers, soft weavings, and aged canvas bags,
evokes the beautiful moments we'd been through.

originates from taiwanese indigenous weaving,
in the aged days,
the traditional one-thread weaving handle was woven on knife holder to increase frictions.

this year the new triangle bag,
we carefully made it with linen,
the old natural fiber that had been used for thousands of years.

double layered,
double pockets,
with a hidden magnetic button.

since april, we had started a new project, it's called "original".

young artisans badagaw, ngodo, arik and tipus learn and practice the whole pieces of weaving fish baskets, rice sieves and tool boxes from the elder artisans in makuta'ay every month.

with the biweekly journals, the aged stories, mother tongues, weaving gestures, simple-made tools and all the repeated practices are detailed recorded.

it's a long journey, and still have deep soil to dig, glad that we on walking on the way.
