你可以把這個展覽看成在探索放鬆的路上發生的趣事和憾事。 會開始這個放鬆系列起源於一個片段，那是一個我記憶中的電影片段，劇中的人物在已暗燈的電影院座位上，從後方拍了拍前方人物的肩膀說：「妳應該要原諒妳自己了。」我每次想起這個片段情緒都很衝擊，好多次我再回去電影裡頭尋找這個片段，它卻消失了。 我在想這會不會是我潛意識裡最渴望得到的一個動作跟一句話。 一直以來我的創作多以生命經驗出發，並創造不同的角色和故事共寫敘事歷程，在創作過程中探討人的本質以及人與社會環境之間疏離又緊密的微妙牽連。創傷、失眠、精神疾病、情緒、死亡、記憶，這些年我做了這些關鍵字延伸發展的創作，就像用創作宣洩，讓自己阻斷躁鬱症可能的遺傳因素。我還以為我把它們消化得很好了，殊不知我一直都被深深的內疚感困在其中。我一直都很懊悔沒能接住被這些關鍵字侵蝕的家人，同時又要時刻小心自己也成為那個被侵蝕的人。 在生活中時刻提醒自己要放鬆是一件壓力很大的事情。 我意識到在上述關鍵字串的時間軸上是時候加入放鬆了。創作初期我整理了過往曾經嘗試過的放鬆方法，分別是：催眠、冥想、瑜珈、靈氣、呼吸、頌缽。我在操作這些放鬆方法的過程中有一個共通點，就是用圖像連結潛意識再帶出後續的感官體驗以釋放內在壓力。比如說我在嘗試催眠的時候，最能夠進入狀態的方式就是想像畫面，冥想時則會在腦中開始畫畫。這過程像歷史中對繪畫的原始需求，我的大腦將這些放鬆方法視覺化以便交流溝通訊息。這系列的呈現就是將這個過程轉化到畫面中，透過繪畫創造深刻挖掘自我時那種舒服安定的觸感，可視的影像能否創造視覺以外的感受，是我這次創作所欲探究的核心。 。。。。。。。。。。。。 You can think of this exhibition as those interesting things and regrets that happened on the way to explore “relaxation”. I started this relaxation series from a movie clip in my memory. The character in the play patted the person in front of him on the shoulder and said: "You should forgive yourself." Every time I think about this clip, I get emotional shock. Many times, I went back to look for this movie clip, but it has disappeared. I wonder if this is an action and sentence that I subconsciously long for most. My creations have always been based on life experience, and I have created different characters and stories to share the narrative process. During the creative process, I have explored the nature of human beings and the subtle connection between humans and the social environment which is close and alienated at the same time. Trauma, insomnia, mental illness, emotions, death, and memory. Over the years, I made creations that is the extend development of these keywords. It is like using painting to let off steam and block the possible genetic factors of bipolar disorder. I thought I regulated them well, however I was also trapped in a deep sense of guilt: I have always regretted not being able to catch my family member who were corroded by these keywords, and at the same time, I should avoid that I become the next one who is also corroded. It is so stressful to remind yourself to relax all the time in your life. I realized it was time to add relaxation to the timeline of the keyword string. In the early stage of creation, I sorted out the relaxation techniques that I have tried in the past, namely: hypnosis, meditation, yoga, Reiki, breathing, and singing bowls. There is one thing in common when I practice these relaxation techniques. It’s all they are using images to connect to the subconscious and bring out subsequent sensory experiences to release inner stress. For example, when I try hypnosis, the best way to enter the state is to imagine pictures, and when meditating, I start to draw pictures in my mind. This process is like the primitive need for painting in history. My brain visualizes these relaxation techniques in order to communicate messages. The presentation of this series is to transform this process into pictures, and try to create the comfortable and stable touch sense when deeply exploring oneself through painting. Whether visual images can create senses other than sight is the core of what I want to explore in this series. |
