| Abstract: | 關於老家在我還沒出生之前，就已經存在。它位於嘉義縣東石鄉裡，一個名為蔦松村「湖底社區」的小村莊。民國41年，湖底社區還是一個非常落後的地方，景色看起來極為荒涼，附近也沒有幾棟房子，阿公與伯公卻在當時開始興建他們自己的三合院。工程歷時九年，分了三次才完工，依次在46年增建了廚房和客廳，50年又增建了一個房間才告完成。 而我也是在這個三合院出生的，從小在這生活了八年。七歲的那年，阿公在三合院的正右方，距離大概十公尺遠的空地上，開始興建家族的新樓房，那是一棟三層樓的西式洋房。隔年，在我小學一年級的時候，我們舉家遷入新厝，除了阿嬤：她之後獨自在舊家生活了十一年。而我在新厝一直住到高中畢業，大學之後才長期生活在台中，直到現在，離家外出的生活已經邁入第八年。 在我的現實生活中，「家」占有了一個極為重要的意象，多年來，家的意象隨著我的年齡、生活的變遷與社會的脈動而改變，這些改變不只影響了我個人，也深深反映在我的藝術創作中。它從我個人到家庭，從我內心的感受到外在社會，無不緊密連結，環環相扣，使我經常回望它、顧念它、想要表達它。於是我選擇了「居住的空間」，以一棟房子、一小群建築作為創作主體，來訴說每一棟房子背後的故事，讓它們反映出我所看到的社會的變遷、城鄉的差距，也反映了我觀看的方式和多年來心理的變化與成長。 我一直深信創作即是生活，或者說，創作必然根植於生活。因此，我選擇離我身旁最近的題材，以這些題材作為創作源頭，創作出一系列作品，來完成這兩年半的研究創作。創作過程自2012至2014年之間，總共十六件平面作品，包含〈城市系列〉兩件、〈屋子系列〉十二件作品，以及一件關於老家的影像作品。 半年前，我曾經書寫了一篇制式化論文，長達一萬字，寫完之後，我卻發現制式的論文無法將我的作品解釋得很詳盡，也無法完全地表現出我個人內心的強烈情感，於是後來改以散文的方式呈現。每一篇散文的開頭，都從描寫創作者的我，個人經驗開始，講述一段真實的生活故事，我希望藉由真實故事的情境與個人化的述說，讓觀者產生近似於走入了共同回憶的感受，並進一步瞭解我過往的生活，進而瞭解到創作者的內心，最後便可聯繫到創作者的作品。這些散文共分成六個大章節，十二個小節，它們與我的繪畫作品互為表裡，互補而成我兩年多的創作成果。
About home before I was even born, it already exists. It is located in Chiayi County stone village, a small village called Niao Matsumura, "Lake Community" in. Republic of China for 41 years, the lake communities is still a very backward place, the scenery looks extremely bleak, not a few houses nearby, Grandpa and Uncle was at that time began to build their own courtyard houses. The project took nine points three times before completion, followed by additional 46 years in the kitchen and living room, 50 years and an additional room before it was completed. And I was born in the courtyard houses, grew up in this life for eight years. That year, his grandfather in the courtyard houses are on the right, a distance of approximately ten meters away on the open space, the family began to build seven new buildings, it is a three-storey building in the western bungalows. The following year, in my first grade, when his family moved into our new house, in addition to Grandma: She lives alone in an old house for eleven years. And I have to live in the new house high school graduation, college only after long-term living in Taichung, until now, living away from home has entered its eighth year. In my real life, "home" occupies a very important image, over the years, images of home along with my age, social change and pulsating life changes, these changes not only affected me personally, but also deep deeply reflected in my artistic creation. It is from my personal to the family, from my heart to feel the outside community, are all closely linked, interlocking, so I often look back at it, cares for it and want to express it. So I chose the "living space" to a house, a small group of buildings as a creative subject, to tell the story behind each house, so that they reflect what I see social change, the gap between urban and rural areas, also reflects the change and grow over the years I have watched the way and psychology. I was convinced that the creation of life, or that necessarily rooted in the creation of life. Therefore, I chose the theme from my side nearest to these themes as the creative source, creating a series of works, two and a half to complete this study creation. Since the creative process between 2012-2014, a total of sixteen graphic works, including <City Series> two <room Series> twelve works, as well as one on home video works. Six months ago, I had written an article regularization papers, up to one million words, after the finish, but I can not find standard paper will explain in great detail my work, could not fully manifested in my heart strong emotion, then later changed the manner of presentation of prose. The beginning of each essay, and all from the creators describe my personal experience began, tells a real life story, and I hope that by describing the situation and personal true story, allowing viewers to enter into a co-produce similar feelings memories and learn more about my past life, and then learned that the creators of the heart, and finally able to contact the creator of the work. These essays divided into six major sections, twelve sub-sections, and my paintings are complementary to each other, complement each other more than two years from my creations. |
