藝術家自述

出生在藝術家庭，父母並沒有太多限制自己的發展，從小立志成為一位數學老師。其中因為老師鼓勵而進入美術班學習，接觸不同的繪畫媒材也慢慢對創作產生興趣，大學因為期待能從各種面向觀看而選擇了立體創作相關的科系。雖然爸媽都是陶藝家，自己真正認識陶瓷反而是在就讀台南藝術大學之後。

少年時期受到的創傷讓自己否定自我，為了回歸當時所以為正常的角色，我戴上了叛逆、乖寶寶、認真讀書、樂觀的各種面具。將真實的我藏在某處，在情緒的抒發出現了一些問題。也許是這個時候自己已經開始有意識的遺忘事情或是創造一些記憶合理化自己的行為，這個隱疾一直等到當兵的後期才爆發，從精神層面已經影響到身體層面，在那時慢慢地接受較專業的診療，再回到學校後開始正視生命與創作還有自身的關聯性。

-

對我來說創作是一趟療癒的旅程，在慢慢捏塑他們的過程中，我總是想像著他們經歷過了什麼，將會面臨什麼，然後再將自己分割成很多塊，每一塊都是不同的面相，也創造了各種的角色。我讓他們彼此相遇，用不同的角色敘述著不同片段的故事。

-

其實每一個角色都是自己，這些人物也許各懷著不同的煩惱、故事、請求。而透過他們的相遇，彼此的需要也讓旅程漸漸開始。

創作理念

【移動的記憶板塊】這個系列中我會創造出不同的場景，這些場景可能是一棟完整或是不完整的建築，也有可能就是一整隻動物的形體，裡頭會有台南老家的鐵窗花、復古花磚或是一些古董家具。我所認知的人是情緒或是思考模式較為複雜的生物，所以我將自己分割成不同情緒，並化身為對應的動物，賦予作品中主觀的角色形象。小時候母親得了癌症，以前都覺得自己是個悲情角色，卻也在母親的身上看見堅韌的生命力。近年母親又腦血管破裂，從醫生的植物人宣告，到身體慢慢地恢復機能，現在她的記憶只剩下片段的、朦朧的。我不禁想像，如果自己哪一天失去了記憶的能力，我還剩下什麼? 因此在辭職回到故鄉創作後開啟了這個系列。我們在回憶的過程是模糊的，慢慢拼湊的。有了事件或地點的場所，然後將記憶中的角色慢慢擺上過去的舞台，事件逐漸成形、清晰，但這是絕對真實的嗎？我認為在這虛與實之間最真實的是自己現在對於那個事件的情緒。為了保存、重現那個真實的一刻，我創造了不同的場景，讓角色停留在裏頭，透過一些物品、圖騰以及動物的表情與動作來呈現我在這個空間的想像。

【畫芯】在過去的名作中，將其元素挪移到不同的時空，或是讓畫作與畫作相遇。透過形塑出立體的作品，讓他們有更多的可能性，並且在賦予其新的意義時，反思自己。其中一個主題是梵谷與貓，他一生困苦潦倒，從他的視角看見向著窗外所見的景色已捲曲成片片深藍，星空交織成畫作，彷彿道出了梵谷幻想與意志的一齣戲劇。在幻想中我讓一隻貓咪默默地陪盼著這時刻，他並非是孤獨的隻身一人。至少在幻想之中，我療癒了他，也療癒著部份的自己。

ARTISTS STATEMENT

Born into an artistic family, my parents did not impose many restrictions on my development. From a young age, I aspired to become a mathematics teacher. However, due to the encouragement of my teacher, I entered an art class and gradually developed an interest in creation after being exposed to different painting mediums. In college, I chose a major related to three-dimensional creation in the hope of viewing things from various perspectives. Although both of my parents are ceramic artists, I truly understood ceramics only after enrolling at Tainan National University of the Arts.

The trauma I experienced during my adolescence led me to deny my true self. To return to the normal roles I believed were expected of me, I wore various masks: rebellious, obedient, studious, and optimistic. I hid my true self somewhere, and this led to some issues in emotional expression. Perhaps it was at this time that I began consciously forgetting things or creating memories to rationalize my behavior. This hidden ailment did not erupt until later in my military service, where it affected me mentally and physically. At that point, I slowly began accepting more professional therapy, and after returning to school, I started to confront the connection between life, creation, and my own identity.

-

For me, creation is a healing journey. As I gradually shape them, I always imagine what they have experienced and what they will face. I then divide myself into many pieces, with each piece representing a different aspect of myself, and I create various roles. I allow them to meet each other, narrating different fragments of stories through different characters.

-

In fact, each character is a part of myself, and these figures may all harbor different worries, stories, and requests. Through their encounters, their mutual needs gradually allow the journey to begin.

CREATIVE CONCEPT

“Moving Memory Plates"

In this series, I create different scenes. These scenes might be complete or incomplete buildings, or they could be the entire form of an animal. Within these scenes, you’ll find elements like the iron window grilles from my old home in Tainan, vintage floral tiles, or some antique furniture. I perceive humans as creatures with complex emotions and thought patterns. Therefore, I divide myself into different emotions and embody them as corresponding animals, giving subjective character images to the works. When I was young, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. I used to think of myself as a tragic character, but I also saw a resilient life force in my mother. In recent years, my mother suffered a cerebrovascular rupture. From the doctor’s declaration of her being in a vegetative state to her body slowly recovering its functions, now her memory remains only in fragments and haziness. I can’t help but imagine, if one day I lose my ability to remember, what would I have left? This led me to start this series after quitting my job and returning to my hometown to create. Our process of recollection is blurry, slowly piecing things together. We have the setting of an event or place, then gradually place the characters from our memory onto the stage of the past. The event gradually takes shape and becomes clear, but is this absolutely real? I believe that between this virtual and real, what’s most authentic is one’s current emotion towards that event. To preserve and recreate that genuine moment, I create different scenes, letting characters stay within them, presenting my imagination in this space through some objects, totems, and the expressions and actions of animals.

“Painting Core"

In past masterpieces, I move their elements to different times and spaces, or let paintings encounter each other. By shaping them into three-dimensional works, I give them more possibilities, and while imbuing them with new meanings, I reflect on myself. One of the themes is Van Gogh and cats. Throughout his life, Van Gogh was in dire straits. From his perspective, the view outside the window has curled into pieces of deep blue, with the starry sky intertwining into a painting, as if narrating a drama of Van Gogh’s fantasy and will. In my imagination, I let a cat silently accompany this moment; he is not lonely and alone. At least in fantasy, I healed him, and also healed parts of myself.
