个人 About

       
    Glaze Lady，釉女，不是釉做的女孩，是玩釉的女孩。

        惯常，人类的幼崽都爱玩，玩水，玩泥沙，玩棍棒，甚至玩火。何以如此？因为这些东西都是天然活动的，所对应的是孩童天真灵动的心。然而奇怪的是，待幼崽们长大后也有了崽，却多不善玩，还不让他们的崽玩。

        釉女倒是一个长不大的孩，她一直在玩。如今在泥板上以彩釉作画，和金木水火土玩到了一块。彩釉经过火，终将被凝固；而她施的釉，即使被凝固，也不失灵动的状态。此间虽说有心，却也无意，个中乐趣全在其可控与不可控之间。如若值得一看，当在天真，亦即作者在创作意念上的追求——天然成趣，浑然天成。

        画作后期制框全由釉女自为，将木材、金属切割、打磨、粘合，一一量身定做，特别是手工打磨，也算辛苦。此时的釉女，不像贪玩的趣童，倒像一任性的老者。

        作为旁观者，似乎也觉得，世间万般，皆在可控与不可控之间，为人为事，能有一分恒心韧劲，再加一分天真灵动即可。

        无他，接着玩呗；生人不易，快乐便好。

A Glaze lady is not a girl who is made of glaze, but one who plays with glaze.

The cubs of our human race inherently love to play, they will play with water, sand, sticks and even with fire. Why are we like this? Because these are natural activities, and thus correspond to the innocent heart of children. However, it is strange that when our cubs grow up and have their own cubs, they themselves do not take time to play, they can even go as far as not allowing their babies to play.

“A Glaze Lady” is thus a girl who refuses to grow up; who keeps playing. And up until present day, she paints on her clay canvases with color glaze, playing with metal, wood, water, fire and clay, bringing them together. The color of the glaze will solidify in the fire, but the glaze she painted, never loses its dynamic state even after it has solidified. It is within these spaces, between the purposeful and the unintentional, the controllable and uncontrollable, that all the pleasure of creative play lies. And that is why it is worth a look, not only her innocence, but also the artist’s pursuit of creative concepts, naturally becoming a joyful process for her; her imagination unrestrained, filling the heavens. After the work itself has been created, all the frames are made by the Glaze Lady herself. She cuts the wood and metal, polishes and glues the frames one by one. The polishing is especially considered hard work. So it is at this time the Glaze Lady is unlike a playful child, but an old soul.

As a bystander, it seems to me that many things in this world lie between the controllable and uncontrollable, and as for people as for situations, there needs to be a point of perseverance, but one that comes with a point of innocence and inspiration.

If nothing else, just go on playing. It’s not easy being human, please just be happy.
