Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 應用藝術研究所 === 97 === “The Erotic Temple-Religious Ceremony” is inspired by Jianjiao, a Taoist ritual practiced in the agricultural society. By using the objects seen in Jianjiao, such as wreaths, deity figures, flour-made turtles, sacrifice boats, incense bags, and good-fortune lights, this work demonstrates the praise and blessing of the carnal desires between males and females in the modern information technology world where the Internet is used to convey images.
The material used includes clay, bamboo, stuffing, installation, collage, and transfer printing. Hand-sewing, machine-sewing, machine-embroidery, basketry and computer embroidery techniques are used to present the seven serial works: Red Male and Green Female; Blessing for Peace; Viagra Turtle; Catch this, Lover! ; Sexual Satisfaction Light; Love Boat; and God of Joy.
The author expresses viewpoints about sex in a creative way through the exhibition of “the Erotic Temple-Religious Ceremony”. Further creations with sex-related topics are intended in the future. The research and exploration on the relationships among different materials and the interactive relationship between artwork and space shall be continued to accumulate experience in fiber art creations.
