府城的巷弄敘事－－當代織品藝術再現地方場所記憶

Drawing Alleys of Tainan－A Study on the Representation of Memories of Local Places in Contemporary Textile Arts

本文主要以織品素材，探索故鄉在地生活素材與空間想像，發展成為創作的題材。透過創作研究，期望有助於開發故鄉的人文資源，重新省視創作者與地方場域的連結方式，揭露人性最底層對於家的與家人共同記憶的渴望。並選擇以「府城的巷弄敘事」表現於織品創作。在不起眼的巷弄中，如何賦予其當代的視野，是本創作研究的目標。透過織品素材結合數位圖像的演練，藝術家轉化個己環境感知與經驗，傳遞個己的內在（記憶）與外在（環境）的特殊交會。以織品素材特質的感性表達連結自我省視的視野，探索織品創作物質性以外的價值。本文同時將檢視當代織品承載「地方場所記憶」於創作涵構中的重要表現。藉由探索織品富含溫暖與柔軟的素材語彙省視其連結在地元素的內涵與創新價值。

Through textile practices in relation to the subject matters of my art works, local materials of my hometown and its spatial imaginations will be explored in this research. In this paper, case study concerning contemporary textile arts and how they refer to local places and memories will be reviewed. Whereby, human resources in my hometown can be explored and their potential of being transformed into contemporary textiles can be pursued. In so doing, the deepest longing for collective memory of places and images of home can be patched. Images of ‘narratives of Tainan alleys’ are selected for my textile works in this practical study, and for delving a contemporary vision of those alleys. By associating textile materials with digitalized images, as a textile artist, I transform my perception and experience of my surroundings. Thus, the individual memory of home and the perception of outer elements may encounter. Moreover, the values of immateriality can be explored through connecting images of home with perceptual expression of textile characteristics. By the exploration of textile vocabulary in relation to characters of warm and tender, this paper will finally review the identification recalled through my textile works with local elements.
