__A Bridge Between Past and Future__
The "Ink Traces" research project began during the pandemic, a time when Hong Kong's iconic signage was being widely dismantled. Whether carved in wood, chiseled in stone, or illuminated by neon, craftsmanship must align with content and visual appeal. In recent years, the proliferation of new signs featuring computer-generated fonts serves as a prime example of missing the mark. "Ink Traces" aims to analyze these elements from the perspective of calligraphy art and academically preserve Hong Kong's visual culture. It aspires to provide a valuable resource for future research or application, contributing to the heritage of "Hong Kong's Visual Culture."
__Unveiling Secrets Within Pages__
After four years of meticulous research and interviews, this marks the first comprehensive recording of the detailed life stories of four calligraphers, dispelling long-standing rumors and mysteries. The book offers a multifaceted portrayal of calligraphers' lives, illustrating the application of calligraphy in daily life, the formation of Hong Kong's unique visual culture, and the evolution of its commercial culture and customs.
__A Journey Through Art and Inquiry__
Many calligraphy enthusiasts aspire to own collections or copybooks from senior artists for study and inspiration. However, due to their age, these works are scarce in the market and command high prices. Over four years, "Ink Traces" has meticulously documented calligraphers' works across various formats—from paper manuscripts and prints to rubbings—and is now compiled into a book for the first time. Featuring a traditional Chinese thread-binding style, the large-format book presents high-definition reproductions. The design employs a dual-page layout: the right side contains textual content, while the left side showcases the artworks, allowing learners to consult biographical information and examine different pieces with ease.
