有借無還 Stealing From Earth

《有借無還》非此展覽系列中作品，而是藝術於參與加拿大國家公園署主辦的駐村計畫Art in the Park後，所發展的系列創作其一，並事後於中國信託當代繪畫獎中獲得提名。作品奠基於長時間置身自然的經驗，透過繪畫與聲音裝置，回應森林中低度可見、卻高度密集——介於靜止與運動、昏暗光影或層疊日照——的狀態。聲音元素取材於瀑布現地錄音一道近乎不可察覺的旋動音效，在事後編輯中轉調、堆疊成系列中的錨點。

作品拒絕將自然環境視為單純的情境背景，而是一個看似沉默但持續運作的系統。創作關注從人類主體對自然的被動感性連結，轉向一個臨界點——當「察覺」本身不再足以回應環境的複雜性。

Stealing From Earth is outside of this exhibition and is part of the series created after the residency Art in the Park by Parks Canada and nominated in CTBC Foundation Painting Prize. Developed through time spent in nature, the series draws from the quiet intensity of the forest through stillness and movement, dimmed light to layered sunshine. The audio is built from field recordings made at waterfalls, where an unnoticeable, swirling sound beneath the water became an unplanned anchor for the paintings.

Rather than treating the environment as backdrop, the work considers it as a subtle yet active system. Shifting the focus from the mere narrative of human connection to nature to a moment when awareness alone is no longer sufficient.
