碩士 === 東海大學 === 美術學系 === 100 === Abstract Derived from the author’s attempt at developing a personal interest in the mystics into an enigmatic and ethereal new space, this discourse follows a theme of ‘Fields of Tranquility’, which then gives rise to “Mia Island in Mutation”, an narrative where all obscure species bestowed with spirituality are out seeking a comfortable habitat for repose. The motivation of this creation is spawned by the constant reminder that the environment humans reside in has been consistently violated with pollution, including man-made and technology-induced damage on nature, as well as the discovery of unknown organisms during the stratigraphic shifts, which are all related to the ecology. The discourse targets the creations between 2009 and 2011, and the research content revolves mainly around the imaginative realms within dreams, super-realistic worlds and the ecological environment. The creations are integrated with elements of an extra-dimensional space and fantastical imaginative creatures that exist in the author’s mind. In author’s creation, the central elements are ‘the call of the spirituality,’ and ‘the migrating and trespassing of dreams’. Via the texture changes in some certain spiritual beings’ habitats and the combination of imagination with the text of the creative writing, the realistic dimension was subtracted. All varieties of images and scenarios were therefore presented. The process during which a continuous theoretical study on the ecological aesthetics and ecological arts can be drawn upon to internalize, absorb and contemplate on the relativity of creation issues. The creative expression in the works discussed in ‘Fields of Tranquility’ is mainly to eliminate any superfluous concrete images, but to simplistically present a serene and unruffled space, with a further imagery and state to be delivered via application and overlapping of colors. “Mutation in Mia Island” in ‘Fields of Tranquility’ marks the author’s point of departure in creation, its series of works being set up by certain narrative images and spaces that are inductive to imagination and akin to a self-defined extra-dimensional sphere where one can live and let live, free from any constraints. It can be turbulent or quiet in a space. In this regard, ‘space in mutation’ refers to a place of residence going through evolution and replacements due to such factors as time and spatial changes, environmental changes, with its original ecological environmental space being re-shaped. Global warming and desertification are indeed the primary reasons behind the major global ecological transformations. Considering the trends in current environmental changes, mankind on this planet is facing a future with inevitable high temperatures and difficult to keep in reins. In conclusion, the author presents various analysis and comparison tables based on the various subtract materials and media used for experiments conducted during her two-year study in Tunghai University. The experiments include ‘application analysis tables for media and subtract materials for drawings’(‘charts of experiment creations’ attached) and ‘comparison tables for creation discrepancies between different subtract materials’, with all of which to mark the findings of a two-year research. Keywords: Fields of Tranquility, Mia Island in Mutation, Ecological Aesthetics, Asian Gouache.
