In the four series of works that comprise the “Wherefore Art” (Where for Art)” collection, the artist reveals her own process of contemplation and imagination while conveying distinct ideological “landscapes” -- specifically, the dichotomies of freedom and regulation, art and consumerism, commodities and desire, and the quintessentials of the psyche. The artist delves into her relationship with these “landscapes,” searching within this for her own “locus;” that is, her positionality and belonging. This creative journey is witness to ways in which she negotiates a new relationship with art, and is borne of a contemplative metamorphosis and praxis. Pivoting from Taipei to “wherefore,” and from “wherefore” to “heretofore,” the works synthesize intellectual connotation and emotional experiences as they write of the existential condition and the visage of the contextual milieu.
在「無所藝術系列」的四個系列作品中，藝術家試圖揭露自己對於傳遞特定意識型態「風景」的思考與想像，主要包含自由與規範、藝術和消費、物質和欲望，以及心靈必需品。藝術家探索自己與這些「風景」的關係，也從中尋找自己的「地方」，亦即自己的位置和歸屬，這個創作過程見證她如何與藝術建立新的關係，也是思考轉變和實踐的結果：從「台北」到「無所」，從「無所」到「無所不」，兼容知識內涵和情感經驗，書寫所處環境的存在狀態及樣貌。相關閱讀：
