所有的主角 All the Lead Actors

4/8/2022

平面作品「所有的主角」系列，則是關於紙張對自然生態的多層次雕塑。以一張張的紙張透過染色、上膠、打磨，在不斷重複的勞動過程中，過去與當下相互拼接、撞擊成新的記憶，每一張染色的紙張都代表著一層時間的痕跡，當各時間層間開始擠壓揉合，透過打磨的動作，逐漸顯現出微小的肌理，在層層疊疊的色彩中，召喚在溪邊遇見的生物。其中的「喃喃石l, ll,lll」特別以英漢字典為媒材，彷彿傾訴著水流中的各種細語。

Yuwen did not go to the river as the lead actor in the drama. Observing the life in the river, she was enmeshed in a web of life rife with leading actors, each one equal in the unfolding drama. This series is made from multiple layers of paper to represent the deep layers of nature. Yuwen dyed each page one by one, glued them into a thick stack and then ground down into the layers to create her images. The repetitive work tied together past and present into a new set of memories. Each layer represents a slice of time. The process of grinding into the stack revealed lines that took on the images of the different scenes from the stream. Within the series are 3 pieces titled Stones Murmuring I, II, and III. The river stones seemed to be murmuring to themselves, just beyond comprehensibility. To represent their murmuring, each layer of paper in this series is a page from a Chinese English dictionary. The resulting visible fragments of words are like the sounds of the river stones talking, clearly language but not quite readable.
