以前我的陶瓷作品深受美國文化影響。自從我來到亞洲生活後,我的創作內容轉變為融合東方與西方的物件、印象和文化。這次我的新作品以一種立體的明信片來呈現。就像傳統遊客的感受,明信片的意義會隨著具體情況而有所不同,它的意義可以是珍貴的,可有可無的,幽默或奇妙的。以此為基礎,我計畫將美國與外國文化之間的相互作用,以輕鬆詼諧的方式來呈現。這次展出的作品皆以一種特有的方式來組合,傳達空間、情感和時間的意義。作品的每個單元都可以分別獨立存在,它可以透過不斷地重新排列組合,重新詮釋旅行的情感。
Previously, my work in ceramics has been rooted strictly in American culture. Living in Asia has allowed a shift in my work’s content to include both familiar and foreign objects, images, and culture. The format for my new work is the post-card in three dimensions. A traditional tourist’s token, the post card has meaning depending on the circumstances involved; it can be treasured, dispensable, humorous or wondrous. With this as the foundation, I aim to express the interplay between my American heritage and foreign cultures by playfully juxtaposing found imagery through sculptural collage. These works are presented in specific arrangements that make sense with respect to physical space, mood, and time. Because this work is built on the platform of a small tile, it can be continually restructured, and thus, respond to changing owners, environments, and attitudes.
