肆：描述一下自己

我大体上是一个怀旧的人，我总觉得内心深处有一片童年乐土，在成长

过程中那里的画面、声音和气味都不断地引我入胜。我再也还原不了它，

它却常在我心的一种飘渺的感觉。我的很多想象力，自我认知和自信也

来自于这里。是一种我再也还原不了它，它却常在我心的飘渺感觉。

我想做一个清透又朦胧的人，默然存在却不可忽视，就很像我的作品所

呈现出来的状态。

肆：当前的生活状态

比较稳定的"

前进中"

状态。毕业以后，从一直是学生的角色跳出来，一

度有些焦虑与不适，所幸现在整体心境趋于冷静。有两个大的目标（确

定工作和工作室）正在逐步去做。做学生的时候总是或多或少被许多＂

截止日期＂催促自己前进，变成＂自由人＂之后意识到更需要这些，所

以给自己设定短期的目标很有助于稳定情绪。

生活上，学着放慢脚步。因为我总是觉得自己做的事不够，由此变得焦

虑而且不知不觉变得功利性。现在会花时间陪家人，与朋友谈心，练习

瑜伽，研究烹饪和养身之道，我觉得工作与生活要适当分开，很想变得

更加从容和独立一点。

肆：为什么选择艺术

最开始是因为喜欢画画；后来慢慢变成觉得艺术是一个心灵得以自由的

理由吧。其实艺术家都是很自恋的，就是因为无法不重视自己的感觉，

而且放大到无以复加的地步。一个人的感觉究竟有多迷人？无法用言语

表达的一些东西，去做了出来，过程和结果都变成了艺术。这是很勇敢

的事，因为中间有无数岔路使人迷路，有点像拼命回忆做过的梦。勇敢

地挖掘自己的潜意识以及感觉深处，以这样一种形式纪念，成长，表达

并发现，然后再表达自己，是吸引我去做的事情。

肆：艺术灵感主要源于什么

来源于回忆、文学、童话、对人和物的感念和日常生活。

肆：怎么看待在创作中出现的不安全感或不确定感，比如在创作过程中

的自我否认。

平和地看待（要做到并不容易）。因为经常出现，看待它们就像看待生

活中的情绪跌宕起伏一样。生活要继续，创作也要继续，只要m

ove on

，

有低谷就有高潮。无论如何，要相信自己。

肆：谈谈你认为的材料价值

我目前的作品中主要运用玻璃这个材质。不过我对纯粹的体现玻璃材料

的美感兴趣不大，因为在创作中我已会从构成、质感、形式、色彩等方

面去平衡考量它，换言之，它已蕴含了美。

我眼中的材料价值，很大程

度取决于它们自身与脑中的思想的契合感。但是，并不总是先有想法再

选择材料，有时候思想会被材料所诱发，所以它们都很重要。

譬如现在我用玻璃作为主要创作载体，是因为它很符合“

无形的回忆”

、“

无

可承载之轻”

“

镜像”

等的概念。我喜欢透明玻璃磨砂处理后似有似无的

存在，以及我很感兴趣于运用玻璃＂擅于模仿＂的特性。

S: Can you describe yourself?

I am a very "nostalgic person". I always find there exists an area in my mind that containing my childhood memory. The pictures, sound and scent there have a great impact on me during my growing. I am not able to go back but it always is there in somewhere. I believe that some of my imagination, identity and confidence come from it. I see myself as a transparent but obscure person, quiet but solid, just like my works.

S: What is your current states of working and living?

I am in progress. I have just jumped out of "Being A Student" for 9 months, and had occurred some anxiety and confusion since graduation, but now I feel myself calm down a bit. Because I am moving on to my two big destination which are my job and my studio settlement. I found that when I was a student, I often feel that I was pushing by the "deadline", and I am aware that it is more important when I actually become a freeman. So some short-period deadlines really help to stabilize my emotion.

Speaking of living, I am learning to slow down. I spent more time on my family, friends, doing yoga, cooking and to keep heathy. I think working and living should somehow be separated. I want to be more calm and independent.

S: Why did you choose Art?

In the very beginning, I chose art because I like drawing. And now I feel Art is a form that keep my heart free. As a matter of fact, I think artists are all narcissistic, because they are too aware of their feelings, and try so hard to expanding them. How fascinating can one's feeling be? There's something can not be speakable, by making it, the process and result become "Art". This is very brave, because there would have thousands of reasons to make you lost way, somehow like to recall a dream. This is a form that to memorize, to grow up, to express and then discover and then express again, and I am enjoying it.

S: What mainly inspires your art?

I think my inspiration are from memories, literature, fairy tale, relationship and everyday life.

S: How do you see the "uncertainty" during the process of creating? For example, the self deny?

I try to treat it calmly and take it easy. (But not easy to do). It is very normal and often happened, the same as the emotional ups and downs in life. But just keep going, it will be fine. We should believe in ourselves.

S: Can you talk about "material evaluation"?

I mainly use glass as my material to create works. I do not keen on exploring the "glassy" or beauty of glass. Because I have already taken the overall structure, quality, form and colour into consideration when I started to make it. It has its sense of beauty in the first place. I think "material evaluation" mostly depends on how match does it work with thoughts. And sometimes idea comes from material, they are both important.

I use glass recently because it fits the concepts of "Formless memory" "Unbearable lightness"and "Mirror Images (through the looking glass)". I like the stillness and mystery of translucent glass and I am mostly interested in the mimetic power of glass.
