碩士 === 國立新竹教育大學 === 美勞教育研究所 === 97 === Abstract The creator has chosen clay as the major material for creation since he was in college. In the process of constantly manipulating clay and familiarizing myself with clay, I link my experience of creation with my earlier contact with the land in my childhood, and thoroughly display the purity of clay as its distinctive feature. My creation explores the spirit and meaning of land and attributes the original source of life to it, and my further turns these ideas into ceramic works. This study discusses the features, appearances, spirits and meanings of land, and it further explores the relationships of human beings and the Earths, beginning with the land being the carrier of life, and concluding with a thorough analysis that proposes three series of ceramic works, namely, Series on the Land, Series on the Trace of Human Presence, and Series on Life. This study aims to (1) Conferring land、clay with my intentions relations (2)discern land、clay and human historical remains correlations (3)Observe difference between land and the memory of the lifecycle. Based on the purposes of this creation, the creator reviews are related literally, which lays a solid groundwork for the rationale behind his creation. Further, he conducts an action research through artistic creation, which impels him to gradually construct the artistic conceptions and forms of creation that encourage the portrayal of internal nature by reflecting upon the land. This study eventually ends with three conclusions and two directions of and expectations for future creation. The conclusion of this study is as follows: 1. Through creating the Series on the Land works, the artist perceived that upon Land lays a major groundwork for his creation, with the manipulation of heat treatment; at last, he presented their mutual relationships in the form of artworks. 2. By means of creating the Series on the Trace of Human Presence works, the artist emancipated archeological concepts to explore all kinds of cultures without space-time constraints. 3. By creating the Series on Life works, the artist explored the memory of lifecycle behind the land. 4. Through the discussion on the rationale behind this creative research and the creator’s artistic works, the artist induced and analyzed his artworks, and eventually, clarified his personal future direction of creation.
