本創作論文中,先就創作者本身於純藝術中的創作養成過程與創作的動機做一自我的檢視,再針對公共藝術的創作與純藝術創作中較自我的創作形式做個區別,以及公共藝術與人及環境的關係做個探討;另外,也將討論到公共藝術的創作中所謂的「在地性」與公共藝術作品之間的相關性。台灣目前的公共藝術大致的發展狀況,形式上是以雕塑居多,而全國公共藝術的設置,多年來也是以北部地區為多數的設置點,但近幾年已有些許的改變;其次,創作者將在此篇論文中,提出關於「公共藝術家」這個名詞的看法。創作者也專訪了兩位目前專職在從事公共藝術創作的藝術家,並對其個別的作品,與基地之間的關係,呈現出不同的「在地性」觀點的表現模式。 最後就是本創作論文的主題創作之理念與設計的過程。本創作作品發想的最初是以新竹地區的自然與人文的特點為切入,將新竹地區給人的意象物:晶圓、柿子、茶花〈縣花〉、十三鄉鎮農特產古蹟…等等,做為創作中之「在地性」議題的發揮主題,藉此來強化新竹給人的城市意象。
