| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺中教育大學 === 美術學系碩士班 === 102 === This thesis entitled “Wetlands ‧Female Thinking” focuses on the elaboration of female thinking adopted from the idea of “Écriture feminine” brought by post-feminist Hélène Cixous , The concepts of my artworks are expressed by the metaphorical motifs in the paintings, combinations of plants and female organs. The thesis includes the analysis of the series artworks of “Wetlands” in the following perspectives: painting conception, formal style, artistic technique, and meaning of artworks. Based upon the critical reading of the relevant documentations, I understand the historical context of feminism and feminist claims. Furthermore, I gain the insight into female artists’ struggles in breaking through the limits of social expectation. They transformed the innate feminine characteristics, inner personalities and the forms of their bodies into the symbols in artworks. Travelling from daily life to art world, their spirits were represented by art works. I adopt my characteristics as the symbols of “Écriture feminine” and represent these features in my paintings. Inspired by my female life experiences and the analysis of documentations, I develop the unique symbols to represent my self-consciousness and artistic ideas in the works. In the final chapter, I conclude my experiences in art-making and medium, and also expect myself to enhance my style and value in artworks in the future.
