守護
Guard
以藍、白、綠三種色彩羊毛包覆的石頭,毛氈包裹的石頭來自台灣各處,象徵著台灣遍地開花堅若磐石的台灣民主自由價值。它們外顯為台灣藍、白、綠多元又競合的政治哲學光譜,彼此的輪替拼接交融,構成了台灣守護民主自由和消弭戰爭的無形城垛。
Stones wrapped in blue, white, and green wool, collected from various parts of Taiwan, symbolize the resilient democratic and freedom values of Taiwan. They outwardly display the diverse and intertwined political philosophies represented by the blue, white, and green spectrum, seamlessly interwoven through cycles of succession, forming an intangible bulwark safeguarding Taiwan's democracy, freedom, and the eradication of war.
林美玲
Mei Lin Lin
出生於東引島上,一個在普遍窘困的大環境裡仍顯貧乏的家庭。「動手」與「創作」的起源可以追溯到巧手為家中眾小孩編織衣服的媽媽,耳濡目染之下承襲著手藝,在無法來台灣旅行的寒暑假,藉著幫芭比娃娃縫製衣服消磨光陰的同時編織自己的夢想。
Mei-Lin Lin was born in Dongyin Island, a poor family in a generally poor environment. The origin of "hand-made" and "creation" can be traced back to her mother who skillfully wove clothes for the children in the family. Mei-Lin inherited the craftsmanship under her mother’s influence. During the winter and summer vacations, Mei-Lin could not travel to Taiwan mainland. Thus she sewed clothes for Barbie dolls while killing time instead, which is also weaving her own dreams.
