| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立新竹教育大學 === 藝術教育與創作碩士班 === 102 === This statement will be a mentality of my art begins from 2006 till now. It takes the concept of "durée" to line up the spindle of the entire context. It sets out from the fear of losing memories, in the quest for a way to co-exist with creation in the circuitous flows of memories and time, and attaches to them for making self approach completeness. In this journey, lingering on the time axis over and over, I let it in on spreading arbitrarily, all for the retrospection to accommodate that past self, and on which the present self adapts to find a cozy zone between giving and gripping.
In Chapter I, - Exordium, I will present the motives and purpose of this research, as well as the study methods and contents. In Chapter II, - Conceiving in Memories, I will narrates the course of dialectical thinking through the self perceived memories, time and awareness. Through the study of paintbrush that retain the sentiments and feelings in my early art works and the narrative presentation that emerged anima traits implicated in the sentimental touches. Through the making of six painting in "Dialogue and Listening" series, I will explain the collision between my inner and outer environments. In Chapter III, - "Anima in Memory", I will trace the memories of the male entity with a high femininity, and question the stereotyped gender impressions. Through the discussion of the transsexual cross-dressing in painting and theater performances, I will study Freud's " The Internal Triple Structure of Personality" to explain the phase changes of femininity in my series of artworks, "Process", "Barbie Series", and "Just Never Tired of Listening" as the themes for three-phase discussions. In Chapter IV - Stretching Flow, I will discuss the stretched conceptions throughout the context, the key changes of my work from classical painting to mix mediums; the year of 2011 is taken as the boundary to separate the different states of "water" depicted in the artworks of "Process" and "Spacing" as pure paintings versus compound medium materials. In Chapter V, - "Heading for the Cry Subsiding Road", the title of a 2013 solo exhibition, I will explain the use of the non-painterly medium materials "cutting sheet" and glues and the artwork production process, that present in three series of artworks: "Can you see me?", "Practice to Set You Calm on It", and "Just Never Tired of Listening" . Through the exploration between the materials and memories, the contained skill attempts, mirroring elements, the course and action, as well as the extended concept of dream space. Finally, in Chapter VI, - Conclusions, I will make constitute a summary of the process of thoughts constructed throughout the course of creation and after the writing and
discourse. Also proposed in the end are the topics intended to be addressed in the future and the feasibility to work them out.
When it comes to this point of today, there are a bit more sighs, a bit less tears, having grasped the vague states desirable for catch. To me, the "vague" comes in two meanings: a mentally non-gender state, and a liberal combination and transformation of medium materials. Under the inter-woven creation, writing and theater performance, gradually I'm having myself existent in creation and living with a cozy and freely flexible state of mind, motivating myself to continue the liberal transit between various medium materials and artistic skills, to manifest the possibility of fading-away of the antithetical gender division. It's a self-restrained, low-profile of using medium materials and narratives - neither a protest, nor a fanfare. Yes indeed, it is using a graceful and soft manner, trying to change things without stop.
