碩士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 造形藝術研究所 === 96 === The way I create art originally was painting; since the year 2000, it has transformed into installation art which is the mode I am following for the time being. Here, I will give the best possible explanation of my current creation with this major characteristic － ”aimless stroll.” “Aimless stroll” is similar to the characteristic of nomadism － possessing the potential of reaching far beyond the unexpected by chance, indicating the possibility of reaching the essence of material, place and thoughts without going into them deeply. Within this irreplaceable particular time and space, my actions were repeated as meditation process waiting for the appearance of that existing sudden tremble, which is due to the characteristic of nomadism, to further obtain the inspiration in the new domain.As far as I am concerned, the works of art are not something that has been embodied in the new domain mentioned above, nor the approach of a purpose.In the long run, they are but some traces left behind the pathway of creation. I gave every effort to remain neutral by decomposing the elements which surround me physically and conceptually to the smallest extent. This way every single component is easier to be compounded and joined one another, consistently proceeding the steps as the way rhizome gradually forms of being connected together and split away. My works of art were created during the instant reaction of these compound cycles. These works oftentimes were unfinished and temporary, possessing the characteristic of every element. This dissertation was written the way as the traces of the lonely ”aimless stroll”, like dragging the continuous flowing river for the leaf instantly.It is totally different in meaning and property when comparing to the action of keeping records; it merely represents bringing the existing collected database to light.
