「痕跡」面具之創作—以泰雅族紋面為發想

近年來紋面的原住民由於年歲已大，在後無人傳承的情況下，泰雅族的紋面藝術正逐漸的被遺忘，雖然本研究無法將紋面文化的重現，但用筆者以紋面的特色做為面具創作設計，藉由文獻的分析研究和實際創作互相結合，將泰雅族紋面的意義以及紋面的圖騰樣式轉化加入多樣元素融合與創新，以替代文字的傳承，藉此可以讓原住民後代以及社會大眾瞭解紋面藝術的價值與寶貴。本創作以「痕跡」為主題創作，針對泰雅族紋面的由來及意涵，以半立體及立體的面具設計重現原住民紋面圖騰，透過面具設計將紋面藝術轉換成裝飾性質的藝術品，亦能藉由面具創作設計的方式傳達泰雅族紋面在凋零的邊緣下所存在的價值性。

The art of Partisan (facial tattooing) of the Atayal Tribe is gradually passed into oblivion in recent years since those aboriginals with the facial tattoos are aged and are without any inheritors. This study is not able to reproduce the facial tattooing, yet with the masks created and inspired by the facial tattooing art and the combination of the analysis and research on the literature and the actual creative works, the Author is able to transform the significance of the Partisan art of the Atayal Tribe and the tattooing totem and integrate them with a more variety of innovative elements to form an alternative inheritance rather than that in words. By means of this, it allows the offspring of aboriginals as well as the public to realize the value of the Partisan art. These creative works are based on the theme of “Trace”. Focusing on the origin and connotations of the facial tattooing of the Atayal Tribe, the masks are designed as three-dimensional or semi-solid forms to represent the facial tattooing totems of the aboriginals. Through the mask design, the facial tattoos are transformed into a decorative and artistic work. In the meantime, the design of the masks conveys the value of the Partisan that exists as a vanishing art.
