​​​Artist Statement:

 

從小我就喜歡在練習簿中,使用顏色、圖案和數字來記錄我的所見所想。久而久之,建立了一系列隨機圖案結構的創作模式。

不同的顏色、形狀圖案和數字在社會中不停地被使用,因此它們構成了多樣的世界。何時何地不斷地發生演變,沒完沒了。漸漸地,我開始覺得語言和文字,不過是一種抽象的圖像和字符。從前,語言的發展是由聲音>符號>文字及繪圖>語言;而我的作品正好相反,是由文字及繪圖轉化到聲音。

在我的作品中,聲音元素一直代表意念的具體化,而作品的形式與媒材選擇中,則將語言回歸為原初的狀態。期望藉由簡單的聲音,觀眾與我經由作品相互交流,代表了意念的直接傳導,並在互動的過程中自然地留下痕跡,使個別觀者能藉此迴照自身感官,稍稍跳脫習以常的生活經驗。

我希望通過打破傳統語言及文字的邏輯系統,把身邊的每個人、事情、物件及聲音的故事和經歷重新交織,展現機械、圖像及文字之間的新物種,以及未來演化的趨勢,用另一種形式和更多人一起分享藝術。

 



The working process for my project involves drawing every day in my visual diary. I have done this regularly since I was a child, using color and patterns of the day. Having established a series of patterns I string them all together, and I’ve got an arrangement of multi-colors that, through an invented visual system based on numbers, grids, colours and visual interactions I translate the random pictorial structures into personally remembered experiences into artworks.

‘Color and patterns” in my visual diary are used and consumed in society in different styles, shapes and functions. It has formed a vanishing world. Through the observation of my old visual diary, I can see beyond myself and I view those objects as a recording of my personal experiences, the movement of my hand and the process of making something tangible. It also demonstrates the traces of my creative development.

Although there may not always be material similarities between the different projects they are linked by recurring formal concerns and through the subject matter. I believe this to be an exciting process that suggests potential for further development. Over time I began to think of language more conceptually, as a kind of technology, and the characters as abstract images.

The development of language was initiated from the sound>code>typography and drawing> language, and the people use them to describe what they can see, but in my project, it is initiated from the object>code and typography>sound. I break language and typography away from its logical systems, in order to uncover the inherent limitations of language.
