碩士 === 國立屏東科技大學 === 時尚設計與管理系所 === 105 === The concept of this artwork came from the self-examination from my inner world. I would like to express my deep feelings towards the land, by observing the natural appearances of the land and converting personal experiences for inner enlightenment. Recall the disaster led by Typhoon Morakot in 2008, “shapes” and “colors” were discovered as new elements of the new landscape after the flood. I would like to fade the colours of the hand-dyeing clothes to create a metaphor of the water erosion caused by the flood. Embroideries were then added to have my personal feelings and thoughts merged into this artwork, representing how the indigenous culture and traditional spirits were changed after the disaster. I wish to create my own vocabularies of shapes and colours from this kind of metaphor. The five chapters of this thesis were arranged as follows. The first chapter, as the introduction, contained the motivations for my artwork, the purpose and scope of the study, and the review of the whole process. In the second chapter, I explained how the invisible inner feelings and the visible outer forms of the nature were transformed into the colours of my works. Self-examinations were processed through the practices of bleach and embroidery, and from the reviews of relative works created by other artists as well. For example, Mark Rothko studied the inner conversations by simple shapes and colors, while Hsiao Chin investigated how the differences among different circles, lines and colours represented the differences of inner feelings. Nava lubelski, as an embroidery artist, by re-sewing up the teared embroidery thread, to create a new wound-healing method. In the third chapter, I put the photos of the disaster area shoot after the flood, and transform my feelings of the scenes into abstract hand-drawn circles and lines. Those circles and lines were transformed into a new form of shapes and colours by the fading bleaches and embroideries on clothes. whereby, the environmental changes has been insinuated into the loss of traditional indigenous lifestyle and culture. The fourth chapter is mainly the analyses for the abstract conceptions and the techniques of the embroidery, and how these techniques were transformed into the creative process of my self understandings. The review of the process for my art creation, and the inner feelings through the transformation of shapes and colours into self-examinations, were addressed in the fifth chapter. Finally, “we should treasure what the land gave us” was an important message I wish to transmit to all the viewers of my art work.
