Burnt 1074 (Partial)

The artist collected various burnt materials for making this fire sculpture, including cow bone, plastic pipe, wood, and burnt toys from a factory after a fire accident. It won the Fine Art Award for Sculpture in the 1st Contemporary Hong Kong Art exhibition in 1975.  The work was donated to Urban Council in the same year, and now stands outside the concert hall in City Hall.

Happening Splashing Cow Bone Action (倒牛骨事件) by Frog Kong took place next to this work during the exhibition at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1975.
