藝術家自述 Artist Statment


創作是我個人對自己內心世界的解壓方式。自從走到陶土的創作世界就發現陶土的可塑性作為我表達的素材,在創作的過程是很漫長的,但也是考驗我的耐力。

我喜愛用組合的構圖與構思,因此組合出無限的可能性,正如人生有無限的選擇與可能的轉變。近年來我常使用現成物與反應現況的影像來豐富作品。現成物或影像是有它的真實與歷史,都是人活在當下要去面對的事實,去接受、回應、珍惜如戲的人生。

The process of making an art work is my way to release my inner stress.  Since initial contact with clay, I found the medium’s great pliability perfect for creative expressions.  But working in clay is a very tedious process, which often tests the limits of my patience.

I like to juxtapose different elements into a composition, as there can be unlimited possible combinations, just as life with endless choices and outcomes.  Of late, I prefer to use ready mades and images of current realities to enrich my works, as ready mades and images have historical contexts.  These are elements in our daily life, which we have to contend with, to accept, to respond, and to treasure.  After all, life is ephemeral.
