Artist Statement
The exhibition showcases my achievements throughout the past seven years of studying lacquer art in Japan. It is also the most comprehensive collection of works I have made since I started my creative journey. Over the past few years in Japan, I have spent most of my time exploring three-dimensional forms with lacquer art. As an introvert, I intend to interact with the outside world and express myself through my creation. It is as if I whisper to my works, unfolding my enthusiasm while creating each of them. This makes a huge contrast from my quiet personality.
My works are not decorative, and most of them are mono in colour. Instead, I focus on expressive shapes. The soft and elastic properties of leather materials and stretchable fabrics allow me to present the mystical world in my heart. I find the aesthetics from our nature in motion through the blooming of flowers, rippling waves by a breeze, and elegant lines of a human body. I want to convey to viewers that every gesture contains strength and vitality. It is as if they are performing various dance styles along a stream of silent notes. I wish to capture, through lacquer art making, the moments of dancing, the motion of blooming, and energy from within myself.
展覽的作品綜合了我在日本學習漆藝七年的成果，同時也是我形成獨立創作風格以來一次作品的集結。在日本這幾年，我大部分時間都是在探索漆造型的創作中度過。這跟我內斂的性格有關，創作成為我面對世界的一個出口，同時也是自我表達的一個窗口。我長時間地與作品對話，把內心的熱情和對生命的力量投放在作品上，與自身安靜的性格剛剛相反。
我的作品大多是單色沒有裝飾，我把重點放在形態的表達上，通過皮革和伸縮性面料其柔軟且富有彈性的特質，建構出我心中繽紛的世界。我以我的美學理解大自然中的動感，來表達花朵綻放的過程、輕風的波瀾蕩漾，人體搖曳的優雅線條，我要傳達給觀看者這些動態都蘊含力量、充滿生機，作品彷佛在無聲的音符中演繹著風姿各異的舞蹈。我用漆藝來把翩翩起舞的瞬間，花兒綻放的姿態，及大自然的能量，定格成永恆。
