Teosest Bean Dolls of the Old Trades Randmetugi

Traditsioonilisel kuivatatud oaseemnekestade meetodil valmistatud Bean Dollsil on neli Singapuri vana Hiinalinna sümboolset kuju: Towkay, Kopi onu, Samsui naine ja Majie. Nad aitasid ehitada vana Singapuri, luues vastavalt töökohti, pakkudes mugavust, ehitades infrastruktuuri ja pakkudes lastehoidu. Praeguste Hiinalinna eakate vaevaga kujundatakse oanukud randmetoeks, kaisumänguks või mälestuseks vanadest ametitest. Selle eesmärk on olla kohaliku ajaloo avastamise muusa ja julgustada nooremaid põlvkondi oma kultuuri lähemalt uurima.

Tootmistehnoloogia: The making of the bean dolls was a community effort. With help from the elderly of Kreta Ayer Senior Activity Centre, sacks of bean sprout husks were collected from neighbours, washed and dried in the sun till the husks are dried and solidified. The dried husks were then left in a cool, dry place and carefully handpicked for production. Illustrations of the figures were printed on organic textiles using digital textile printing, which is an eco-friendly process. Next, the elderly cut and stitched the fabric, stuffed them with bean sprout husks, cotton and gave shape to a nice and firm bean doll.
Disainiülesanne: The challenge was to interview the remaining trade people as they:
i) only speak dialects which lead to some difficulty in understanding
ii) are too old to be interviewed
iii) feel ashamed of their ex-job
iv) are the only survivor of their trade (Samsui woman and Majie) and has been interviewed too many times before.
Samsui woman, dressed in blue samfoos and a red headgear, is a construction worker who fetches building materials. Majie, dressed in black and white samfoos, dedicate their lives to servanthood with unwavering loyalty.

The design outputs are functional mementoes that aim to promote the values and appreciative awareness of Asian cultures and history. Commission by the Singapore Chinatown Association and funded by the National Heritage Board.
Inspiratsioon: The project was inspired by the small bean husks pillow used by Chinese Singaporeans to give a sense of security and cushions any sudden noises that may shock their babies. Relating jobs with security. The initial idea was to introduce exciting occupations in the 1950s, such as gangsters of secret societies and coolie, laborer from China. However, the client rejected the unglamorous occupations to avoid any touchy subject. Eventually, the design focused on people who help built Singapore.
Projekti kestus: The project started in May 2010 and finished and launched in January 2012 in Singapore.
Tööprotsess: The design is multifunctional as it can be used a wrist rest or played as a comfort stuffed toy.
