在移動旅行與對環境觀察的實踐裡，如何將空間與空間中的邊線下注解？此注解該如何表露？是廣義地理上的疆界？還是更微觀的改變？

此邊線的過渡性是草木扶疏裡與高山之巔空氣間的相遇，是沙石沿岸與海水沖刷間的激情，抑或是在城鄉邊陲與山林間的密語。

過渡的中轉裡，速度視為要角，速度表徵了對於畫面的感知與想像。緩板時，是徒步的愜意，領受的是枝微末節的細緻，快板時，是機動時代的輕易，綜合的是掩映襯托的疊加，是組成的境。

在草也藝廊的第二個展覽裡，Luke和婉琳將要探索此領域的過渡性。此過渡性裡顏料及墨水在畫布與紙張上的樣貌。

字裡行間、人間，是與線的奔逐流瀉與纏綿，這些線條中的離開與歸來是意識中的顧盼。

How can we ascertain the limits of a particular territory or idea? A line beyond which all is unknown or different from the place we currently inhabit?

How often is this perimeter sharply defined; a cliff edge, a fence or a wall, where a mountain climbs from a plain?

More often, the change is transitional. A zone where the changes are more subtle. The thinning out of trees to the rarified air and atmosphere of mountain summit, the shore line of a beach marked by the gentle swells of a tide. Or the scrappy edges of a city, made up of light industrial zones, suburbs or forgotten scrubland.

When Chang and Walker talked of a second show together with Zasso they felt these were the territories they wanted to explore. To spend some time in these transitional places and how they might represent the particular qualities in pigment and ink. Hovering at the margins of representation, the works are an exploration of Edgeland as a place but also as a condition; that moment between thoughts, or lines of poetry and prose. The pause between two breaths. The silence between the stars.

The artists are on a quest to discover the symbiotic spatial relationship between solid and air, (another potential Edgeland) and it is not only the features that make up a landscape but the spaces in between.

The resulting marks aim to be more than representation, acting like a transcription of a language of marks and codes. With the intention of creating works that can be ‘read’ in different ways and give them additional depth, beneath the surface of the paper or canvas, and beyond the edges of the works themselves.
