幾天後將出門一個月野營，從澳大利亞最西邊的珀斯 (Perth)， 一路 開旅行車穿過沙漠內陸區，展胸開眼界。連日趕著把一件想參展的作品燒出來，以便出門放心。作品意境有點不同，以適合展覽‘海岸特性’的需求。今日綿綿下雨天 ，與我此時心境湊興，一片安詳。

‘ Coastal Water Seduction’ 《水之媚 》

53cm x 23cm x 20cm, 2014

Life inevitably is a cycle of birth, growing and death, yet there is a universal force or natural milieu which is static and moving all the time. A dialogue between the artist and this natural force has lead to the creation of this piece of work – ‘Coastal Water Seduction’. I used the metaphorical language of the coastal sea life to echo Australia’s unique coastal natural phenomenon.

The form represents a constant changing of irregular coastal lines of this vast continent, the narrative recording the layers of blue colour of the sea levels enables me to encapsulate the vivid coastal scene. Soft translucent blue interchanging with green and soft brown are incorporated immersing into the whisky white of porcelain-like surface of sky and sand. The luminous rendering of this work attempts to evoke a visual response to the image of the uninhibited sea, seductive and unpredictable at the same time.
