山形繪 系列：
我一直在思考我們與自然的距離，而山總是吸引我，山形成了我對自然的觀察與探索，山林之間是充滿了生命力，祂得存在讓各式各樣的生命有個安寧之居所並居住在其中。
不同的山林吸引我在「距離」之間對祂進行描繪。一部分的「距離」來自空間實際上的探索，必須有距離的觀看才可觀察到全貌。另一種「距離」是心理主觀上的距離，當我維持一定的「距離」，我才可以拋棄人類的自我膨大，重新學習進入山林的方式。這樣的方式是臺灣各部落、原住民朋友帶我進入山林時，感謝山林對我們的包容，願意讓我們進入祂的身體，在祂的身體休息。這樣的感謝，讓我總是在離開山林時，以「距離」跟祂遙望，感謝祂與我們分享自然的寧靜，和平。
而我所創作的材料，宣紙、漿糊（麵糊：麵粉、水）麻布、棉布、墨、胡粉（白色顏料：貝殼粉）。我描繪自然，我也期待我的作品是有機性的，因此我所選擇貼近自然的材料進行描繪。對我而言這是一種對大地、自然的尊重。
有時候藝術創作者，在我而言我只是一個為山林傳遞的角色，我的作品、我所表現的樣貌，都在在是為其訴說故事的媒介。
The Introduction of my Creation
While contemplating on the distance between nature and mankind, I’m always drawn to the mountains. Naturally, my observation and exploration of nature take place in the mountains, where a wide diversity of life forms finds shelter and have their homes built. Mountains are indeed full of life.
Various mountains attract me to sketch and paint them within a “distance”. The “distance” is in part physical, the actual space between me and the mountains. The distance is necessary to allow my eyes to take in the wholesomeness of the mountains. Another kind of “distance” is in a mental form, which I adopt to rid of my ego as a human being and learn how to enter a forest appropriately once again. The latter is widely practiced among many tribes in Taiwan. When I visited the mountains, my indigenous friends taught me to be thankful to the forests for letting us intrude and rest inside them. It is this thankfulness I bear in mind when I leave a forest with a “distance”. I thank them for sharing the peace and ease from the distance.
The materials applied to my artworks are as follows: Xuan paper, glue paste made of flour and water, linen and cotton fabric, ink and white paint powder made of shells. I paint the nature and I hope my artworks are created with natural organic ingredients. To me, this is my way to show my respect to earth and nature.
An art creator, in my opinion, is merely a messenger for the mountains. My artworks and how they are presented are all media utilized to tell their stories.
