Artist Statement
I select clay for my art practice. The time I work with clay, is a time for me to submerge myself into my art piece… it is a time for me to feel myself and view my past.
I develop vessels as the base of my artworks, for the characteristics of vessels amaze me, the functionality… the space… the emptiness… and these vessels are the actualization of Laozi’s saying-- we turn clay to make a vessel; yet it is the space where there is nothing that the usefulness of the vessel depends.
The development process of creating a tangible piece from clay always touches me, the progression from nothingness to a distinct art piece… and with the adoption of the openwork technique, the perforated surface created leads the internal space of the vessel—combining the movement when developing, the clay as nature, and the thoughts that were with me at the time, to interact with the external environment… the art piece captures and gathers all the intangible elements such as time, light, and unique transient feeling inside me all at a time.

我以陶土作為主要的藝術媒介。對老子的思維深感 贊同/體會 –-- 世人只知道“有”的作用，而不知道“無” 的作用。而“有”之所以能給人們帶來便利，是由於“無”的配合而產生的作用。
我認為陶藝的本質是創造空間。以陶瓷拉坯的行為形式來記錄身體移動而創造出的空間，以打洞注入自己與陶土磨合的時間為記號 –-- 將內裏的空間帶出與外在的空間相連接…… 溝通…… ，以塑造出作品為完整的記錄。隨著環境、時間、日光與天氣的變化，光與水 在不同的時刻 穿越作品的牆壁，在作品內的空間 收集從各方 形成的影子、鏡像、反射等無常及短暫的現象…… 隱藏着我對當時身處的環境有種不能言喻、一瞬即逝的感受。
