2 0 2 1 .07. 20 (Fri) ~ 2 0 2 1 . 11  . 27 (Sat) * 展期延長至  2 0 2 1 . 12. 11 (Sat)

千萬年植物的生命循環，貫穿地球萬物生息消長，推動人類文明發展。造紙、草編、竹編、織染、造景等植物纖維的應用，編織起在地人文風土氣息，紀錄下人們掌握地域植物特性與環境保護的智慧。原料採集、工法演變、自我與美感展現，一部部精彩的纖維圖譜，於焉展開。

草編，曾是台灣島嶼常民的技藝與記憶，依循季節適量取用植物，紀事、編器、織衣，成為婦女農暇之餘貼補家計的收入來源，更是在物資缺乏的50、60年代鄉間，長輩無餘錢買玩具給孩子，運用自己信手捻來的東西，「變出」各種玩具的童玩藝術。

台灣草編傳藝師林三元，兒時在母親的手邊，承接了「永遠帶在身上的玩具」; 叱吒風雲電子業35年之後，他選擇回到兒時與媽媽的情感原點，返璞歸真，走往城市鄉野之間「盡嚐百草」，以一隻隻草編動物編織成寬廣的手掌，網羅每一顆童心未泯的心靈。

本次特展，樹火與台灣草編傳藝師林三元相遇，期待透過彼此共通的自然語言，訴說台灣人的故事、描繪台灣的節氣地貌，編織代代綿延的情感。展覽中，樹火以紙與創意重現意象造景，林三元以草編創造動物童玩，邀請大小孩子的笑聲為音符，共同譜寫一首送給大自然的情歌。

 

歡迎您拾歌走進，捻一枝草，牽起孩子的手，一起找回與生俱有的創造力。

 

Weaving Beside You: From Papermaking to Grass Weaving

Suho’s Paper Installation and Lin San-yuan’s Grass Art

2 0 2 1 .07. 20 (Fri) ~ 2 0 2 1 . 11  . 27 (Sat) 

Plants have been around on earth for thousands of years, nurturing other creatures while cultivating human civilisations. The various use of plants, such as papermaking, grass weaving, bamboo weaving, knitting, dying, and gardening, demonstrate local arts spirits and the soil and climate conditions, archiving the regional flora and eco-friendly practices of different periods. The collection of raw materials, the evolution of craftsmanship, and the representation of personal characters and aesthetics have been interwoven together to depict a series of exciting fibre stories.

Grass weaving used to be a technique and memory shared by Taiwanese citizens. Women collected a reasonable amount of seasonal plants to weave baskets and clothes for increasing family income when they didn’t have to work in farms. Due to the material shortage in the 50s and 60s, people didn’t have spare money to buy their children toys, so they also utilised whatever materials that were handy to them to craft a variety of toys for their children.

Taiwanese grass weaving artist Lin San-yuan (also known as Mike Lin) inherits the skills of “crafting toys with grass” from his mother. Having been active in the electronics industry for more than 35 years, Lin decided to return to the humble beginning and explore the memories he shared with his mother. “Trying out all kinds of plants” in urban and rural areas, he crafts numerous animals with these plants to attract childlike souls in society.

This special exhibition brings together Suho’s and Taiwanese grass weaving artist Lin San-yuan’s works. With the use of their mutual language of nature, they tell Taiwanese’ stories, depict local climate and topography, and pass down their affection for the land. In this exhibition, Suho presents natural scenes accommodating Lin’s grass-woven animal toys with paper and creativity, aiming to invite adults and children to come and enjoy the exhibition while composing a love song for nature with their laughter and smile. Follow the music and come along with us. Pick up a piece of grass and hold your children in hands.

Let’s get back our innate creativity in the exhibition.
