藝術家 吳耿禎的創作奠基於紙材,關注於傳統民間與當代的交互可能,實驗出個人特質的演繹。另一方面,一直以來執行許多參與式計畫,是來自於生命與社會經驗的提問。
​
去年於「島嶼之間|臺灣 西西里文化藝術交流展」帶來了「童顏」及「山嶼月」兩件精彩作品,今年更受 Facebook 的委託創作出「Reweaving」這件剪紙編織作品。

「Reweaving」的創作靈感是來自於南島語族文化,畫面上的圖像及抽象幾何圖形經過切割、繪製上色,進而解構、重新編織。作品背景來自於中央研究院的南島語歷史記載,在部落中「編織」視為一種特殊工藝技法,也成為色彩及情感融合的載體,連結了人們及土地各個部分。藝術家渴望將文化及臺灣獨有歷史透過編織展現出土地的脈絡及其色彩。從一個小島開始,穿越劃時代的波浪,我們將重新審視那早已不存在的輝煌過往。     / 節錄自 藝術家 吳耿禎

Artist Jam Wu predominately works creatively with paper, focusing on the interconnected possibilities between traditional everyday life and contemporary facets, as he experiments with interpreting his own personal distinctiveness. On the other hand, he also regularly implements participatory projects, examining questions about life and social experiences.

Last year artist Jam Wu presented the striking works of “The Children Shape of Ours” and “Island and The Lunar” in “IN BALANCE: Taiwan-Sicily”. This year, he commissioned by Facebook and create an amazing new work named “Reweaving”.

“Reweaving” is inspired by Austronesian culture. Several images and abstract geometric shapes are cut out and painted, then deconstructed and woven. Austronesian historical records from Taiwan Academia Sinica are used as backgrounds. Weaving is an exceptional form of craft and art found in tribes.
Weaving also represents the coming together of different media, colors, and emotions.It connects people and also different parts of the land. I yearn to weave the Earth’s meridians the colors in cultures and Taiwan’s own unique history. Starting from a small island.Rolling through colossal epochal waves together, we will revisit the splendid past that is no longer present.     / Excerpt from artist Jam Wu
