Then begin with an airline ticket…

There is no specific content deliberately conceived of for verifying tendency of context. I only go down the streets with an airline ticket, stationery and some money. Under various settings of modern civilization, I let my emotion and imagination go and seek. Initially two circles drawn by a stewardess on the airline ticket catch my eyes.

Here all works are produced in different public spaces or studios of the others. Wandering, eating and taking a rest over the city, I immediately start making art pieces while I have an idea. No matter what things I use or buy, they are limited in the stage of daily living. Thereby I am much more concerned about various forms of “drawing” which it can extend and reveal towards such context.

When discussion of drawing comes to a kind of conscious stream transmitting messages to physical reaction of bodies, the process is always concluded as disorder of self-expression or indescribable spirituality. Dealing with this interpretation, self-purification and extraction are emphasized which I regard it as a myth. Among limitation of context, independence, tools and techniques, how much our thoughts and ideas can thoroughly derive from self without bias of external conditions?

Then I begin with an airline ticket by citing my experiences during residency in Taipei to carry out a series of thoughts and change of media, in an attempt to reach the unclarified field between tendency of context and independence. Does the final presentation only manifest my own habits? A series of unrelated pieces? Or a brand-new means of overturning for different perspectives?

If drawing can raise our most fundamental intuitive and sensibility, then I would let my feelings go to achieve something. I don’t intend to define it, otherwise drawing may go farther and farther.

每當談到素描作為一種透過意識流傳達訊息至肢體產生反應這過程，往往最終歸結成表達自我紊亂或難以名狀的精神層次。對於此解讀，箇中會強調自我的純粹與提煉，我一直視之為迷思。在文本、自主、工具與技術的局限間，到底有多少想法及意念是徹底由一己衍生，而不受外在環境的偏向所引導？

就從一張飛機票說起，把現下在台北駐留的經歷作為引旨，開展連串由點到多點的思想跳躍和媒介變換，以嘗試觸及文本的偏向及個人的自主中像是無法釐清的領域。實驗最後可證的僅是習慣的顯現？是無法貫穿的一系列創作？還是能多次推翻自我開闢新視角的方法？

如果素描能把最根本的直觀及敏銳提升，我會更放手讓感覺去跑，然後達到一些東西。當意圖給這個詞下定義，它便好像越離越遠。

 

就從一張飛機票說起……

我沒有特地為驗證文本的導引性想過具體的什麼，就只帶著機票、文具，以及金錢走到街上，在現代文明的種種設定下，讓感覺自己去跑。最初讓我注意到的，是機票上空姐隨意勾下的兩個圓圈。

這裡的作品都製作自街上或他人的空間裡。街頭閒逛、進食、休息，想到點子創作便隨即動手。要用什麼；要買什麼，就局限日常生活，使我更在意｢素描」在此語境下能引申及體現的各樣形式。
