碩士 === 台南科技大學 === 美術研究所 === 98 === Mankind face a complicated and diverse social environment, body become a vessel for multiple characters, the human body brings emotion, and many messages. Using the “human form” as an element to represent humanity in a modern society, through transformation, distortion and composition, brings a new perception in the form. During the working progress, attempting to investigate how different material would have its own interpretation of human form, hoping a deconstruction and combination of soft and hard line, would penetrate the spatial aesthetic of body sculpture, and purified it with streaming and simplicity. The thesis focus on works between 2007 and 2010, which their motives and ideas will be presented in words. The thesis will be divided into five chapters. The first chapter explains my background and ideas, stating the reason for employing human figure. The second chapter discusses sculpture in classical, modern and contemporary period. The third chapter will first describe the property and character of materials, secondly, the intending meaning of the materials selected. The fourth chapter will explain the concept of working progress. In ideas of works, illustrate the configuration, formation and techniques which derive from the composition of material. Works'' content will be shown through the relationships between ideas, form, medium and technique. The works are shown in four series, namely: “Plaster series: Weighty life”, “Steel series: Dancing steel”, “Steel series: Extension of line”, and “Steel series: Leaping steel”. The fifth chapter of the thesis is the conclusion, providing a comprehensive discussion on works and future project.
