Remembrance Of Things Past: Time And Life / Mar.2004
925 銀染黑處理
Oxidised Sterling silver

雖然已經是四年前做的作品，但歲月對於我的意義卻沒有變過。一直覺得人在社會中是不停被改變的，變的越來越世故、圓融、甚至浮華，所有的改變都是難以自覺甚至難以抗拒的，不能說絕對的好，也不能說絕對不好。就如同自山上落下的多稜角碎石，經過河流多年的沖刷侵蝕，成為圓潤的鵝卵石一般，在＂不得不＂的狀態下被改變。

對我而言，歲月的流逝跟年華的流逝，在程度上其實是不同的。歲月流逝的是時間，但是年華流逝的卻是天真單純，是一連串改變的過程，從最初的頑劣粗糙，轉變為圓潤光滑。

墜身主體是用銀來表現不同的紋理跟質感，包括粗糙與光滑，反映年華的流逝對我的影響。空洞部份則可依配戴者喜好綁繫任何物件，一如人用不同的想法和意念去反映自己的改變。

無論改變是好或是壞，都沒有任何人可以決定，但結果也早已悄悄的在自己的身上反映出來，無論一點一滴，都必須全然的接受。

即使我的內心，一點都不想被改變。

When the years go by, every one is always changed by some way and some how. Like rough and acuate stone, after washout from the river, it will become smooth and roundness. It happens spontaneously, naturally, automatically. We can't stop it or change it, even it changes us a lot and unconsciously. And after days and years, we suddenly find that we are different, we are not a child or be innocent any more.

It doesn't mean good or bad. It's a phase, a gradation of life. It gathers beauty and ugliness, and the must important part is what we face and go through.

That's what I feel of time and life, and I put all elements in this work . There are two textures of the body; one is rough, another is smooth. It explains the changes of time. There are also some holes on th body, every one can ties any different kinds of material on it. That's what I can show apart from another one.

I like ribbon, how about you?
