Angus Chiang

ANGUS CHIANG collaborated with Ms. Mei-Nu Tu Chen making a series of Can Ring Pulls Weaving Bag -「Iron Banana」 and 「Iron Pumpkin」 to further highlight AW19 collection. At the age of seventeen, Ms. Mei-Nu Tu Chen moved to Badouzi for marriage. She learned how to weave fishing nets at home while her husband went fishing in the sea. By utilizing the techniques of making bamboo fans she learned in her hometown in Zhoumei, Neihu, she was able to perform all kinds of tasks skillfully, whether weaving a fishing net, repairing a lift net or making a straw bag. After weaving fishing nets for nearly sixty years, she still does all the weaving and repair work completely by hand, which not only makes nets more durable and less likely to break but also keeps the traditional net-making culture alive.

『Seesaw』, another important facility in AC PARK, is a spiritual symbol of ANGUS CHIANG's co-creation with different brands and artists. The image of the seesaw conveys balance, interaction and harmony. There must be loads on both sides before this facility can be activated. In the process of up-and-down communication and interaction, it’s as if the two sides are shaking each other's uniqueness through the balance principle of the seesaw, and then fusing together. That’s how ANGUS CHIANG and his/her artworks emerged.
