2020
我在手中刻下一個個的角色
她的眼神透著光采
嘴角帶著笑意
我的笑容在她的臉龐盪開
大小不一的凸版
逐漸有了清晰的樣子
一如我的眼前
孩子的樣貌重疊了我的記憶
陪伴孩子的同時
重新擁抱了當時幼小的自我
Meng-Ling Liao’s brisk forms, interwoven with the child-like images in space conjure a series of uncompromising visual prose. The earth tones of rock forms in intaglio are incorporated with wood blocks of trees, animals, and houses. Inspired by her young daughter, she resolves the challenges of different life roles as the juxtaposition becomes joyful and full of energy.
The process of creating made me feel focused and energetic. I like to create with imagination, which makes me feel that I can break away from the real world and float in the unfettered air, relaxed and happy.
