Artist Statement​

​​​​​

​

My work grows from a contradiction: the body infinitely small, yet perception boundless.

​

Based in Taiwan, I work across paper, silk, cloth, and earthen surfaces. My practice centres on the relationships between light, matter, and perception. Through attention and negotiation with pigments, fibre, clay, and the particular nature of each material, I allow the painting to emerge through the process.

​

In the Night Atlas series, moths, orchids, faint light, and other unnameable forms surface and recede. Points of light are scattered across the picture plane; I connect them by intuition. It is an old impulse: to find order in darkness, to weave myth from scattered light. Constellations are not forms given by nature, but relationships waiting to be perceived. In my paintings, I both discover and compose constellations of my own. Meaning emerges where perception meets material, and where discovery and making intertwine.

​

Forms appear, dissolve, and return, shifting vision from recognition towards sensation. Shaped by close, sustained attention to small lives, tidal rhythms, breath, and the subtle mutations of matter, my imagery resists clarity and asks for stillness, for the viewer's time and continued presence.

​

These floating forms are what I leave behind, for myself and for the viewer: places where perception lingers, and where meaning slowly surfaces.

我的創作從一個矛盾的內在狀態長出來──身體極度渺小，感知卻無邊蔓延。

​

現居台灣。我的藝術實踐圍繞著光、物質與感知之間的關係。我透過持續凝視顏料、纖維、泥土及各種材料各自的性質，與它們反覆協商，而不是完全控制，讓畫面在過程中逐漸浮現。

​

在〈夜圖〉系列中，蛾、蘭花、微光與無以名狀的形體浮現又隱沒。星點散布於畫面，我以直覺將它們連結。這是一個古老的衝動：在黑暗中尋找秩序，將散落的光點編織成神話。星座不是自然界既有的形狀，而是等待被感知的關係。在畫面中，我既發現，也組織出屬於自己的星座。意義在感知與材料的相遇中逐漸浮現，而發現與創造，也在其中彼此交織。

​

畫面中的形體浮現、消散、再度生成，使視覺從辨識移向感知。長期對微小生命、潮汐、呼吸節奏以及物質細微變化的凝視，形塑了我的圖像。它們抗拒確定的答案，需要觀者投入時間、安靜停留，讓觀看持續發生。

​

那些漂浮的形體，是我為自己與觀者留下的痕跡，也是感知得以停留之處；在那裡，意義或許會慢慢浮現。
