回歸材質的特性與精神

本論文以創作者的成長背景做為創作歷程的開端，其中包含了幼年時期的記憶、求學的過程，以及如何對樹木產生情感等等，這些成長過程中建立的特有價值觀，則投射在創作者對於藝術創作的態度上。全文以「回歸」做為創作上的思想基礎，透過對於自然、社會的觀察，體驗出在當下這個時代中「回歸」的趨勢，再從此建立出自己的創作主軸，將自我特有的經驗、感受透過創作行為帶入作品中。作者以惜物的態度切入創作主軸，顯示出作者對於樹木的情感以及對餘材的不捨，進而以「回歸材質的特性與精神」做為創作上的核心價值，然後以多件作品做為舉例，以作品的形式與內容，逐一說明作者如何運用材質與造形之間的關係，展現出木材質的特性與精神，同時也讓讀者了解創作者作品前後期的演變與差異。最後以較為宏觀的角度訴說出創作對於作者人生的影響與啟發，透過創作、透過「回歸」的概念，尋找出真實的自我，也尋找出自我存在的價值。

This statement draws from the author’s background, such as his childhood memories, educational experiences, and origins for his passion for working with wood, to explain his creative processes. Fostered during his formative years, certain values are projected in the artist’s attitude towards creating art. With “return” as the statement’s philosophical foundation, nature and society are observed to experience the trend of a “return” in a modern context, and to form creative foundations. Personal experiences and emotions are injected into the artworks through these creative processes. The author borrows from daily objects to form the artworks’ creative framework, expressing his zeal for wood and his dislike for wasting scrap materials. As a result, “returning to the characteristic and spirit of a material” becomes the central artistic theme. Through many examples, the artworks’ form and content are used to explain the relationship between form and material that express wood’s character and spirit. At the same time, differences between the author’s earlier and later work are pointed out. Finally, a macro-perspective exposition about the impact and inspiration of art on the artist’s life is provided. When creating art with the “return” concept, he discovered his true inner self and clarified his life values.
