花園嚮導：林其勻創作個展

雙手建構的虛幻，有時更為貼近心中的真實世界。藝術家林其勻擅長透過植物移植到盆栽的過程，表達對於某段時光的擁有。本次《花園嚮導》作為其過往《移植》系列的下一步發展，延續了對舊家花園的思念，從父親曾打造的庭院出發，在櫻花樹、松樹、茶花、鐵樹的馥郁記憶環繞下，以遺留的童年回憶作為養分，滋養自身重新建造的花園。
「當事物脫離原來尺寸，便得以從時間的秩序中滑出，可以隔絕外界，擁有獨立的時間性。」林其勻將無盡的愛和思念，藉由陶土茁長為超現實尺寸的樹木植栽，創造重溫美好時光的途徑。而其中量體的縮小並非刪減，而是一種將童年記憶揉雜其中的凝縮過程。此時，因澆灌而滿溢關愛與呵護的盆栽，或許已不再屬於現實時空裡的一株植物，卻將化作永恆存在的寶貴收藏和情感記憶。

Kimkim Lin Solo Exhibition: The Garden of Memories

Constructed with hands, the illusion sometimes comes closer to the real world in one＆#039;s heart. Artist KimKim Lin excels in expressing ownership of a certain period of time through the process of transplanting plants into potted gardens. In "The Garden of Memories," the next step in her previous "Transplant" series, she continues her longing for the old family garden. Drawing inspiration from the courtyard her father once created, surrounded by the memories of cherry blossoms, pine trees, camellias, and iron trees, she rebuilds and nourishes the garden with her childhood memories.
"When objects deviate from their original dimensions, they gain the ability to escape the order of time, becoming isolated from the external world and possessing an independent temporality." KimKim Lin uses clay to nurture boundless love and longing, growing trees of surreal dimensions, creating a pathway to revisit cherished moments. The reduction in size within is not a subtraction, but rather a condensation process that blends childhood memories into it. At this moment, potted plants, overflowing with care and nurturing, may no longer belong to the realm of present time and space, yet they are transformed into precious collections and emotional memories that exist eternally.
