In general, a creative process can be kicked off from two different aspects - concept and properties of material. For processing bamboo, I choose the latter procedure in order to explore the possibility of bamboo. Throughout the processing bamboo, I am familiar with its features of growth and physical changes against environmental changes. Usually people will remove the outer layer of bamboo to make new products such as rattan, but I tend to adopt a different approach. The form of bamboo would be preserved so that the final product can be returned to a natural bamboo strips.
