美麗的事物能夠喚醒人們對於幸福的印象，一如美好的時光總會令人念念不忘。作家林徽因曾說：「記憶的梗上，誰不有兩三朵娉婷，披著情緒的花。」那些在人們生命中所經歷的幸福榮光、感動時刻，正好比人們心中所珍藏的朵朵時光蓓蕾，總在不經意的時候，會綻放在日常生活中片段記憶的枝枒上，成為被喚醒的美好時光。

海風、山嵐、晨曦、霞光，除了形與色，還有溫度的記憶在；炊煙、熱湯、木桌、陶杯，質樸的氣息都是熟悉的觸覺。在人們日常的美感經驗中，伴隨觸覺所聯想的溫度與氣味記憶，經常成為重溫舊夢之旅的一種引信。而現代抽象雕塑創作所涉入的工作，就是在這琳瑯滿目的美好時空中，以真切的情感、入木三分的形色來「凝」記下種種美麗的臨在。

2022年夏天的一趟花東旅行，筆者在舒心徜徉蔥鬱山巒與湛藍海洋之際，催生了一組敘說海岸曲線、山青水色的抽象雕塑作品（花東三部曲- 陽光．縱谷．海岸線）。而後進一步，透過詩情轉化及抽象手法，陸續發展出一系列詮釋自然風光、魚鳥動態、形色寫意的抽象作品。古人說“外師造化，中得心源”。心想當年黃公望繪製“富春山居圖”時，應也是在盡興遊歷江河、有感人生況味而作。藝術家身心處於時空遷異或精神上的流浪狀態時，往往能夠透過詩境的巧妙轉化，而對於周遭的人事景物產生寄物移情、創意詩情的綺想。而就現代抽象雕塑創作而言，通過這樣的詩情轉化，雕塑家能夠驅動美學意識，並以純熟的創作手法去精煉材料、造形及節奏的精準度，進而成就一場美好的詩境之作。

美好時光－是藝術家從實景的寫生、詩情的寫意，再到暢志的寫心。彷佛在那些美好的心境之旅中，對於藝術家而言特別深刻的印象，都隨著時間的洗鍊和沈澱，而成為純粹的明亮開朗。美好時光－也是觀者透過藝術作品的賞析，而從自身的生活體驗中取得與藝術家所創作的美感經驗連結的契機。透過作品，觀者也得以自己的想像和記憶，重溫經驗中的美好時光。

Beautiful things can awaken people’s impression of happiness, just as good times are always unforgettable. Writer Hui-yin Lin once said: “Who doesn’t have two or three graceful flowers covered with emotions on the stem of memory.” The happy, glorious and touching moments experienced in people’s lives are just like the buds of time treasured in people’s hearts. They always bloom on the branches of fragmented memories in daily life when not noticing, and become the beautiful times that are awakened.

The sea breeze, mountain mist, morning light, and sunset glow, in addition to shape and color, also have the memory of temperature; cooking smoke, hot soup, wooden tables, ceramic cups, the rustic atmosphere is a familiar touch. In people’s daily aesthetic experience, the memory of temperature and smell associated with touch often becomes a trigger for a journey to relive the past. The work involved in modern abstract sculpture creation is to “capture” the various beautiful presences in this dazzling and beautiful space and time with true emotions and vivid shapes and colors.

During a trip to Hualien and Taitung in the summer of 2022, I created a group of abstract sculptures that narrate the curves of the coast and the green mountains and waters (Trilogy – Sunshine, Valley and Coastline) while leisurely wandering among the lush mountains and blue oceans. Then, through poetic transformation and abstract techniques, I developed a series of abstract works that interpret natural scenery, the movements of fish and birds, and the shapes and colors of liberal style. The ancients said, “Learn from nature outside and find the source of the heart inside.” I thought that when Huang, Gong-wang painted “Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains”, he must have been enjoying traveling around the rivers and feeling the taste of life. When an artist’s body and mind are in a state of time and space migration or spiritual wandering, he can often generate empathy and creative poetic imagination for the people, events and scenes around him through the clever transformation of the poetic scene. As for the creation of modern abstract sculpture, through such transformation, the sculptor can drive aesthetic consciousness and use skillful creative techniques to refine the accuracy of materials, shapes and rhythms, thereby creating a beautiful poetic work.

Serendipity – it is the artist’s process from sketching real scenes, expressing poetic feelings, to expressing his feelings freely. It seems that in those wonderful journeys of the mind, the impressions that were particularly deep for the artist have become pure brightness and cheerfulness as time goes by. Serendipity – it is also an opportunity for viewers to connect with the aesthetic experience created by the artist from their own life experience through the appreciation of the artwork. Through the works, viewers can also relive the good times in their experiences through their own imagination and memory.
