每星期有數天,我也會穿梭繁囂的市鎮,沿著窄長的林蔭道路橫越高爾夫球場,到達位於鄉郊村落裡的工作室。從喧鬧、紛亂的現實,跨越平行時空,轉移到寧靜簡樸、人與自然和諧共生的國度。「初極狹,纔通人;復行數十步,豁然開朗。土地平曠,屋舍儼然。有良田美池桑竹之屬,阡陌交通,雞犬相聞。」在高度城市化的環境,渴求心中的桃花園。《桃花源記》的樂章歷經千年,在現代人的日常中又重新奏起。
There are few days in a week, I travel to my studio in a quiet village from the bustling city. The minibus goes along a long narrow road across the golf course to the remote village where my studio located. On the way on the minibus, I feel like travelling across the parallel universe far far away from the messy reality to a simple peaceful village where you can find harmonious coexistence of all lives and the universe.
“At first the opening was very narrow, barely wide enough for one person to go in. After a dozen steps, it opened into a flood of light. He saw before his eyes a wide, level valley, with houses and fields and farms. There were bamboos and mulberries; farmers were working and dogs and chickens were running about.”, <The Peach Colony>. After a thousand year, people longing for a place like the Peach Colony again in the highly urbanized city. I transform the feeling of this desire into imagery and reveal it in between brush and ink. |
