In my creative world, stone sculpture is my main axis. I specialize in stone sculpture creation and at the same time break away from the traditional concept of sculpture. I like to use heavy stones to express the feeling of light smoke. I also like to experiment with exhibitions and The stone starts a material dialogue, reflecting on the various possibilities of the essence of stone carving. For me, "external and all things, internal self-concept." Understanding the world and myself through sculptures with Zen and humor is the source of my creative strength.
"Stone Qi. Beginning Chapter
"Incense Carving" - In my daily life, I often work with "incense", and I feel in the process of tasting incense and watching smoke The beauty of "tangible and intangible" of "smoke" is based on the basic concept of creation and the tone of the shape for the material.
At the same time, I also felt the mysterious concept of "Qi" in Eastern philosophy, that is, It is the innate qi mentioned in Taoism. Using natural stone as a creative medium, "moving with energy" Through the stone carving techniques such as engraving, engraving, drilling, digging, punching, and grinding, the "trajectory of smoke" is carved out.
The work wanders between the tangible state and the intangible meaning, writing the reality in the heart. The focus of incense carving is not on shape
In fact, this is a form of sculpture aimed at "negative space".
How deep, shallow, thick, thin, empty, overflowing, flowing, and concentrating, what is presented in the end is me and stone, The most profound and direct dialogue relationship between machines and spaces; so directly facing the pure sculptural state of materials , this "freehand" and purely intuitive way of creation is the realm of creation I pursue.
Taking this argument as the core of thinking and extending the direction of creation to explore the relationship between the inner self and the environment
relationship, seeking a state of internal and external balance. I think creation is like a process of practice, when I explore
An endless journey of the relationship between oneself and nature, Taoism believes that "human beings are the combination of energy and form
", there is a coexistence relationship between human beings and Qi, and "Qi" is not a scientifically detectable Qi, perhaps it can be
Conceptually understood as an energy that drives everything. In the process of my creation, I think Qi is a kind of "everything"
The connection between things", the relationship between form (visible) and qi (invisible) exists through this connection.meaning; also like the Buddhist saying: "Form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from form".
For me, creation is the way I explore this meaning, and I can fully observe myself in the process.The relationship between the body and the external world is like a fine smoke, like a misty mist. In my creation, "fragrant carving
"Become a language, constructing the sculpture context between me and stone, machinery, and even space, "heartIf you care about what you mean, you will be what you are.” Between the extreme lightness and heaviness of nature, we are looking for the “combination” that condenses the emotion.
