本文旨講述筆者在研究所期間,對於創作方法的探求,獲得屬於自身的創作語言。第一章的緒論,筆者將先描述創作動機和研究核心,轉而連結論述開頭所提的生活軌跡,給予定義。第二章開始,回應生活軌跡,以自身的角度審視所處的社會環境,講述人類對於物品使用的習慣,與全球化的傳播下,如何直接影響著我們日常風景?對於物品的誕生與存在,應該要有的預先思考為何?並以在日本交換留學一年的經驗,分析臺灣與日本看待環境的差異,也是影響對於日後創作另一轉變的開端。第三章則為作品剖析,主要談論對於媒材的選擇,與媒材不同以往使用方式的特質發現,以解構與組構的概念作為基礎自由描繪具象的或抽象的,重新塑造再現對象物,探討媒材作為兩種語言分別的姿態。最後第四章的總結,媒材和筆者創作的脆弱特質下,作品的力量何在?作品觀看的差異,有沒有共同出口的可能?對未來的可能,提出另一種新的嘗試,為往後的創作之路埋下新的伏筆。
This thesis aims to explicate how the author as a graduate student developed creative approaches and turned them into sui generis vocabulary for artistic creation. This thesis proceeds in four chapters. The first chapter provides an overview on the motivations, themes and research questions of this thesis, followed by the discussion on a workable definition of the trajectory of life. Echoing the definition, the second chapter examines contemporary social environment from the author’s personal perspective. This chapter also addresses the questions as to how human beings habitually make use of things, what difference the globalized communication can make to our quotidian existence, and how should we speculate about the meaning of objects’ emergence and presence. Moreover, this chapter includes a comparative analysis of the difference in environmental concerns between Taiwan and Japan by reference to the author’s one-year experience as an exchange student in Japan that also inspired the author’s re-orientation of creative approach later. The third chapter mainly analyzes the artworks with a specific focus on the selection of media and the distinct features of the media selected. Applying the concepts of deconstruction and reconstruction to freely depicting the concrete and the abstract, this chapter further reshapes and represents the objects, thereby investigating the postures that media take on as two different sets of creative vocabulary. The final chapter concludes the discussion with the following questions. Wherein do the strengths of the artworks lie when the media and the approaches are fragile in nature? Is it possible that different ways of viewing would converge into a common interpretation? By answering these questions, this thesis makes a new attempt to explore new possibilities that may lead to the great accumulation of invaluable assets to the author’s career as an artist.
