Summary: | 碩士 === 台南應用科技大學 === 美術研究所 === 100 === This study has taken the mind of people as the study object to interpret the self internal consciousness and to feel the continual condition, then applied the experience of the mind as an element, hoping to be able to sense the relations between the body and the internal consciousness of people. Further, to investigate the human nature, the relations between environment and the self, then to internalize them into the art symbols to present in the works by means of art creation. The creator had a dialogue with the inner self on the process of the creation, attempting to clarify and achieve something in the course.
This paper has been divided into six chapters, which are: Trace of Life, Investigation of Related Theory, Creative Spirit, Creative Technique, Work Interpretation, and Conclusion, etc , From the contact with earth and the living environment on my childhood, I am inspired to think about the relations between the environment and the self as the beginning of the introduction. The creative context and the life experience on the past have inspired the creative motivation and goal, hoping to find out the attitude toward life on the process of creation. It has applied the existentialism, the new being and the ultimate concern of Paul Tillich, the existentialist psychology of Rollo May, and the theory of Carl G. Jung regarding the integrated personality from the individualization procedure and the self awareness of the self from the awareness of Buddhism as the fundamental theory to fuse the imagery observed from everyday life and the internal condition initiated from the creation with each other, then proceed with analysis and research to think about the state of self existence so as to return to the initial state of the self and being a person.
The works include: “The Flow of the Heart”, “Floating Years”, “Covered Heart”, “Shell”, and “Life of the Chrysalis”, etc, five series. On the ceramic creation technique, I start with the thought of the investigation and meaning of the style and the development ability of the style again to put the creative spirit and the unique glossary on the style of the work, the continuum of the circle, the tentacle image, and the shell concept to do in-depth explanation and investigation. The ceramic technique and glaze technique were based on glaze formula, aided with the natural oyster shell to grind into powder to become a heavy calcium carbonate raw material then added in the glaze for series experiment research, and to apply the material on the works. On the experiment of the clay, I took the clay I collected to study its character and then proceed with the mixture to apply on the series work of “Life of Chrysalis 2”. For the ceramic works, they mainly apply the clay plate forming technique. Also, they also apply the mixture of the steel net and the clay, which first fold the steel net into certain form, then use the pulp clay to stick to the steel net so as to reduce the weight of the clay and to have better control over the temperature of the clay burning temperature to achieve an ideal temperature. This is a relatively new on material application of the pottery art.
During the three years of creation and research, I have put the ceramic art to a diversified development and devoted myself to material research. Under the support of the related theories, it allow the internal state of the mind a deeper exploration and to realize on the works, all those will be the foundation for my future creation.
