Artist Statement:
我不相信每一個藝術家都在做自己的事情。每個人,不管是畫家、雕塑家、作家、作曲家或什麼,都是在處理同樣的事情。角度、力道、落點的差異造就我所認為的創意。這是從他們那獨立的情感、觀點和手法中引申出來。就是這每一個人的主觀互相交織成一個豐富而多樣的世界觀。
由自我存在的覺察, 到人與人之間的關係。以蘋果隱喻社會,以漂白為人與自然之中介物,同時又含蓄地表達了現實中的人際關係。
It comes from the awareness of self-existence as an individual through establishing and exposing the kaleidoscopic diversity of human relationships. I don’t believe that every artist is doing their own thing. Everyone, regardless of painter, sculptor, writer, composer or whatever, are all addressing the same thing, but from varied angles, terms and interpretation on different levels and degrees. It is where creativity comes from, not the subject but the particular emotion, point of view and means to whatever they are concerning. A humble contribution of subjectivity emerges from each individual to form a grand objectivity.
On regards to the concept of relationship, a basket of apples demonstrate a society, for its collectivity, its rigidity, its indifference. Than the bleach came in as a human intervention which violently separate the human and the nature while implicitly utter the inter-human relationship in reality. The concept of white started to emerge and further investigate social class and perception through the research on the practice of cosmetic. To avoid the sex limitation of putting make-ups, activities like wash face, make hair etc. are also relevant to this context, and the behavior of washing becomes an integral part.
