虫子积木启发自漫画格子,漫画格子的形状和布局是根据故事线索的走向来确定的。如果改变故事线,故事的顺序发生了变化。新的格子顺序形成了新的黑白分布,也就组成了新的图案。将漫画格子设计成可以拼和的形状,同时加入眼睛和尾巴的装置,各种材料的物理性质和虫子的形状用自然的属性组成了积木的规则。

如果单独拿出虫子,他是一个有体积厚度质感的三维物体,这些个体的属性在他们拼成图案的过程中被慢慢忽略。完成时,单个的小虫子看起来就消失了,只剩下这群他们拼成的二维的图案。拼合的过程中,我们观察的视角发生了变化,从单个有物质感的虫子转移到了图案,从局部到了整体。这个过程就导致整体中每个虫子的特性被忽略,其实他们并被有消失,他们的眼睛会因为位置的不同被周围不同的虫子的屁股吸引而转过去。

 除了积木,还有几个漫画故事,主人公是一只站起来的虫子,它的工作是变成一块拼和图案的积木,它生活的世界和我们类似,有阶级、有不开心的事、有小确幸的时候,它的做不同的工作,躺下当积木,在家画画,梦想成艺术家,想上山学法术,或者观察路边的一个草。这些漫画是为了在故事世界里重复积木所反映的各种方向的关系的转换,显性与隐性,宏观和微观,过程和完成等等。

Worm Puzzle was inspired by the comic cases. The shape and position of cases are depend on the going of the storylines. If the line be changed, the order of cases would change too, and new distribution of black and white or a new image would be created. So I transformed the comic cases to the shape that can fit each others, which looks like crawling worms, and adding the magnets devices. The physical property of every materials contribute to the rule of this game.

One piece of the toy is an 3D object with size, weight, texture. But the individual property would gradually lost while the process of organizing. When it's done, the single piece looks disappeared and only the composed 2D pattern could be seen. Actually during this period, we turned our attention from the specific part to the whole. The uniqueness of each piece are still there that hiding in the general image. Their eyes are looking to the direction of other near pieces' butt. 

Except the woody toy, the project also include a comic part. The 3D worm/piece become a 2D character in the comic, and his job is becoming 3D to be a piece of puzzle toy to make a big pattern. The world he living in is similar as ours, with different social classes, unhappiness, and unfairness. The worm also have dreams of being an artist, going to learn magic, or observing small things like the grass beside the road. The comic part is going to repeat the transformation of the different relationships in the woody toy, like the visibility and invisibility, part and whole, process and finishing.
