碩士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 美術學系 === 103 === Contemporary art presents a multiple status. The phenomenon of globalization pushes the independence of region disappearing. In a process of rapid cultural consumption, contemporary art which is mess and complicated in its context becomes unreality. Its path is segregated. Therefore it is hard to give contemporary art a proper position. Painting, served as historical record and media in the beginning, changes its function gradually. In the process of creation, I apply mixed media in recreation and transformation of material, attempting to present an abstract quality of discontinuous reading, a kind of manifestation of non-fixed form. It is like cultural archeology and reappearance. Questions were brought forth during the creation process. What is the possibility of transformation of substance? With manipulating trace which is covered and stripped, plus construction of signs, it forms a style which is ambiguity. Integrating those codes, I try to arouse an imagination, and then what is the status of the imagination? Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), a twentieth-century famous psychologist, saw symbols in alchemical process, using those symbols a depiction of human psychological development. Jeffrey Raff (1964- ) has studied C. G. Jung and his theory about alchemy, addressing that alchemical process has a close correspondence to a process for human achieving wholeness (individuation) and entering a state of great peace and tranquility. One’s inner spirit becomes integrated and balanced. In other words, material transformation, an alchemical process, is equal to the human spiritual transformation. After digesting the relationship between alchemical process and human psychological development, I realize that the process of creation constructs an interpretation of returning to reality; it also reflects on the attitude of creation.
