Jubu No. 1 — ornament — unpainted stage
BUZO / 不作
“局部系列”一个小摆件
English translation of the artist’s text
I was thinking about Chen Danqing's earlier programme Jubu and found it very thought-provoking. I am borrowing the name and would like to make a Jubu series.

Strange series No. 2 — double-sided mirror — unpainted stage
BUZO / 不作
奇奇怪怪系列之二
English translation of the artist’s text
The table mirror I made earlier was casually called a strange mirror. While making this piece, I thought I might group the more spontaneous pieces without a fixed form together and call them the Strange series. I would welcome everyone's suggestions. An accidental finger injury has slowed things down a little.

Ashtray — painting completed — making record
BUZO / 不作
骷髅烟灰缸详细上色过程
English translation of the artist’s text
The video is four minutes long, a little on the long side. This time I recorded my painting habits and personal methods. The editing is rough; it is simply a record, keeping as much as possible of what I think is useful. If any of it is helpful, I would be honoured. I thought of doing this while making the unpainted model and made it as soon as I could. I have not edited the footage of modelling the blank. If people are interested, I will make a separate video about shaping the clay. In any case, the clay work continues. Thank you for your support.

Ashtray — painting completed
BUZO / 不作
烟灰缸上色完成☺️
English translation of the artist’s text
I think the finished result is quite good. While making this, I had another new idea, which I will work on next. It feels like painting did before: I need to work with my hands every day to keep new ideas coming.

A small brooch in the snow
BUZO / 不作
下雪喽,来凑个热闹。
English translation of the artist’s text
A small brooch I made earlier had been left unpainted. It has snowed these past few days and everyone has been sharing beautiful photographs, so I am joining in with an extra post. Take care when driving out, everyone.

Ashtray — painting completed — unpainted stage
BUZO / 不作
我的执着😂烟灰缸
English translation of the artist’s text
I made several ashtrays at the beginning, but the results were not very satisfying. I keep wanting to make something different. I did not have a definite idea before starting; I just kept applying clay, and this is what emerged. I will see how it looks after painting tomorrow—I do not know how it will turn out either.

A large decorative ornament
BUZO / 不作
一个耗时很久,偏大的装饰摆件
English translation of the artist’s text
I did not film the making of this large piece. I did not know how to edit a video of it, so I simply edited footage of photographing it. Its diameter is 48 cm. I have not weighed it, but it is quite heavy.

A new experiment — broken mirror
BUZO / 不作
一次新的尝试,破碎的镜子
English translation of the artist’s text
I tried adding some dried moss and broken mirror. As it is a tabletop ornament, I do not have to worry about it falling off, and I have tried to protect the mirror edges with clay and filler. This moss had been sitting there for over a year and was completely dry; I did not expect it to stay so green.

Smashing and reworking an earlier piece
BUZO / 不作
该出手时就出手,该砸就砸。
English translation of the artist’s text
I made an ornament earlier and already felt dissatisfied with the unpainted model. I worked until late at night and stopped. Painting it also felt awkward; I muddled through and left it there. Over the past few days it has looked more and more wrong to me, so if it needs smashing, smash it. I suddenly remembered that I had also cut up quite a few paintings in the past.
