Daily Materials as Art
日常材料
I like to create works that are easy to understand, but can cause deep reflection. Under this premise, interest ing, living and social themes, that is, things that are easy to understand and resonate with people, become the materials I often utilize in my creations.
Because I had no formal art training, I often searched for the language of art in the early stages of creation and traveled to museums to try to learn how to make an "art" work, but I didn't have a concrete answer later on. If I really want to talk about it, it may be like a cake with many different kinds of ingredients inside, and I use a special angle to create a section with contents, prob lems, and ideas, and even eat some of it or add some more ingredients to it to show it to everyone. In the process of my creation, "what I want to convey" and "what the artwork wants to convey" are extremely important to me, and whether the artwork can connect with people and society, and whether it can respond to the world with a sense of feeling, is also the special significance of the artwork to me. Sincere and effective creation is an indispensable element for me to create.
我喜歡容易理解,卻能引起深刻反思的創作。在這樣的前提下,有趣、生活的、社會的題材,也就是容易看懂且引起共鳴的事情,就成了我創作時常利用的材料。
因為受過正規的藝術訓練,創作初期,時常尋找何謂藝術的語言,遊走於美術館間,試圖學習如何製作一個「藝術」作品,但後來我也沒一個具體的答案。真要說的話,可能就像一個內部五花八門,有很多料的蛋糕,我用特殊的角度,製造一個有內容、有問題、有想法的切面,甚至吃他一些或再加一些料,來展示給大家看。
在我創作的過程中,「我要傳達甚麼」、「作品要傳達什麼」對我來說是極為重要的事情,而作品是否能跟人、社會產生連結,有感的回應這個世界,也是作品對我來說,具有的特殊意義。真心與有效地創造,對我來說,是進行創作不可或缺的要素。
