作品敘述
在我心中很重要的創作形象為「風景」,這是一種無需開頭也不會結束的故事。匯聚日常生活片段形成的一條名為奇蹟的河流。有時平淡無奇,有時又充滿驚喜,藉由觀察,我汲取著這條川流不息的風景河流創作著。
我試圖雕刻出一隻美麗的小鳥,引領觀者漫步在森林深處。當我的作品被放置在空間的一角時,我希望它可以作為一扇窗,讓清新的微風吹拂進,訴說出日常生活中的全新語調,帶領你進入無限的想像世界。
於坦尚尼亞學習時,一位Makonde部落的老師啟蒙了我對木雕的愛戀與創作之路。彷彿是正在翻閱著一本繪本,他一邊鑿著木頭,一邊向我講述著我們面前作品的故事。如此創作及面對藝術作品的方式成為我一直以來的理想。
從我的想像中走過各種不同的風景,我收集著種種故事片段,以將之實現為有形的藝術創作。
The important image that I always have in mind is ‘landscape’. It is a story without beginning and end. It is a band of the stream involving the daily life called miracle. My creation starts by scooping out this constant stream and observing it with dryness and sometimes with excitement.
I try to sculpture a beautiful tiny bird to invite audiences to the walk in a deep forest. When my work is put at a corner of your space, I hope that it works as a role of a window that brings the fresh breeze into your room, shows you new expressions of everyday-life, and leads you to the world of limitless imagination.
It was a Makonde teacher who taught me fascinations and initiation of wood sculptures while I stayed in Tanzania. As if he was turning the pages of an illustrated book, he chiseled a wood block and told me simultaneously a story regarding the work piece in front of us. His attitude towards his art works has been always my ideal.
Walking through my landscape collections in my imagination, I collect the pieces of stories in order to realise my visible art work.
