關於
王昱心長年投身亞太島洲區域的陶瓷藝術與跨文化研究,從材料配方、造型動力到環境勘探,已然發展出系統性的物件世界觀。海洋與土地是三十年來影響王昱心陶瓷創作的重要元素。
家鄉的海與氣味、多層次的藍色,記憶著她從小戲水潛水的情景,從藝專年代的『暗潮』便可窺見她對東部海洋的依戀,近年來她的創作也一直以在地土作為發想,從原住民族的陶器到黏土礦的勘查研究、實踐於創作之中,展現出對質料以及自然秩序的尊重。身為當代女性藝術家耗費30年追問原住民身份的路徑歧異曲折,通過嚴肅的材料研究、造型、觀看、辯證、回想呈現於每次新作之中。
此次創作接續著2020年個展「波與浪間行走,安身於斯土」中的議題,從人與土地的古老契約,看見島嶼人們依賴小米的生命循環,從大自然的觀察、生命經驗的隱喻,以及時光的蔓延、播種,標誌著創作者一路走來的創作歷程。
