摘要
這篇論文主要談論我的個人創作，進入雕塑組以來，以「女性身體」作為創作的主要元素，利用立體雕塑作為媒材，來呈現我認為女性所感受到的「身體感」。一開始很直覺性的製作作品，雖然選定了一個概略的方向，但每次想呈現的重點卻不太相同。在研究所階段則試圖整理出最主要的概念，便一邊創作、一邊寫論述也一邊收集資料，除了自身的紀錄與反思，也觀察身邊的女性，試圖找出多數女性所會經歷的共同體驗。也回頭去看藝術發展史上，女性藝術家的作品與創作模式，尤其是以雕塑作為媒材的藝術家，去了解在藝術史上女性藝術家如何處理這類課題。 並從中發現，自己對於女性身體的既定想像，不是少年的自己，而是更關注在家庭中扮演著賢妻良母的母親們。東方傳統概念對女性的要求是「三從四德」，在兩性平權不斷推動的當代，雖已不像過去，不再有「男尊女卑」的偏見，如今女性擁有更多元的發展，但在長輩們眼中，女孩還是該有「女孩子家」的樣子。這個被教育成為家庭犧牲奉獻的「女性模樣」，便是我的創作概念。 利用「生而為人」這個詞，並強調其性別面相，所以我以「生而為女人」作為標題，以自身的女性身體經驗，探討女性身體存在與認同，並以此創作。前面幾章說明我的作品的主要概念，為何選定傳統的女性模樣作為創作發展，接著對應自身家族，呈現不同世代下的女性模樣。最後，則做個總結，將提問轉向自己，在當代面對自己的女性身體存在，女性的定位又該在哪裡?

身體感 女性藝術並列摘要
This thesis was focused on my personal works, which I chose sculpture as material and women’s body as main element to express how females felt about the “ feeling as women”. All works were having the same concept, but each work has its own different approach. To strengthen my works, I started to collect stories. While writing down personal thought, at the mean time to find some common experience between women. Through the process to figure out how female artist, especially sculptors, deal with the similar topics through their works. From the process I figure out that the concept which I was trying to express through my works was the” ideal women”, women who sacrificed for their families. Until now, though women are having more multiple choices, we still have stereotypes for female and typical role model for girls. Through the title -“As A Women”, I was trying to figure out how women supposed to be like? From the first chapter to chapter 3, explain the main concepts of my works and why I selected those concepts. The last chapter was asking myself “am I this kind of typical model? “and if not, how women supposed to be?
