Taiwan Craft House - Huang Ma-Ching Woodcarving Studio Introduction
Born in Lukang, a place known for its sculpting masters, he apprenticed under wood sculptor Mr. Wang Jin-yi at the age of 14, laying the foundation for traditional wood carving. The wood carving technique of Lukang primarily inherits from the Quanzhou school in mainland China, characterized by its meticulous style, vividly depicting flowers, birds, insects, fish, and historical figures. Huang Ma-qing's wood carving creations further focus on the natural ecological environment of Taiwan, such as wetlands, horseshoe crabs from Kinmen, and black-faced spoonbills at the Qigu estuary. He pours his emotions into each piece of wood, chiseling away to awaken the public to the message that "human selfishness has already destroyed the ecological habitats of coexisting species." In order to preserve these beautiful images, he strives to carve their likeness, seeking to find the beautiful memories that once existed on this land.
