[[alternative]]Vision-Boundary: Self-interpretation of Tsai Ping-Hsun's Ceramic Creations

[[abstract]] 由於科技的突飛猛進，3C產品已成現代人生活重心，不論在工作上、休閒娛樂上、甚至在與人溝通聯繫，越來越依賴手邊的電腦、平板，雖然帶來許多的便利，但數位化的聲光刺激、快速的資訊交流，使得我們在思緒上不得平靜，使得新一代的孩子沉溺，甚至出現虛擬與現實世界混淆不清，社會問題、健康問題油然而生。 筆者出生於1970年代，經歷台灣經濟起飛，社會由貧轉富，從單純的鄉下農村生活，轉向複雜的都會環境，快速的生活步調，無法在心靈層次上得到舒展，藉由研讀莊子及佛教經典、哲思家的觀點，使內心與外在得到平衡，並由陶藝創作方式，紀錄心靈體悟與轉化，以思運系列、眼界系列、體運系列作品呈現。本創作研究的結果為一、能夠探討人與自我，人與人之間的關係，在物慾紛亂之中維持內心之平衡。二、經由閱讀藝術學理，建立本次藝術創作之文獻基礎研究。三、以陶藝創作為形式，剖析自我並對應環境型態，完成創作研究。 根據創作研究目的，以創作行動研究法，品質思考法，結合敘說研究法之學理基礎與架構，經不斷的反省思考，以創作實踐歷程，澄清並表現以內在心靈與外在物慾尋求平衡的結果，成為藝術理念與表現。 經陶藝創作過程，重塑、煉燒，讓自己有如浴火鳳凰般重生，並以新的層次眼界看待人生，並讓創作作品成為蘊含體悟哲理之軌跡，提點反省之標的符號，並成為未來創作方向之里程碑。[[abstract]] Due to the rapid progress of science and technology, 3C products have become the focus of people’s life. In terms of job, entertainment and communication with others, people come to rely heavily on the computers and tablets. Despite the conveniences they bring us, the stimulation of digital sound and light effects as well as the rapid exchange of information causes us unquiet in thoughts. Kids of new generation indulge in them and confuse the virtual world with the reality, which in turn lead to social and health problems. The author, born in 1970s, has experienced the economic booms of Taiwan --the switch from poverty to the rich, from the simple country life to the complicated urban one. The fast pace of life disturbs him greatly. To achieve balance between the internal mind and the external world, he has studied not only Zhuangzi and Buddhism, but also thoughts of great philosophers. In addition, he registered the enlightening and conversion of his mind through pottery making, producing a series of works which embody his ideas, views, and interactions with the world. The purposes of this creative study is：first, to achieve balance between the chaos of human desire and keeping the mind serene in pottery making; second, to analyze oneself in contrast with the environment; third, to explore the relationship between one and his mind, as well as the relationship between people. By means of creative research and qualitative thinkings, based on theoretical foundation and structure of narrative research, and after continuous reflections, this research aims to demonstrate how one can achieve balance between the inner mind and the desire of the outer world in the practice and performance of ceramic art. Thus, through making, remodeling and heating of ceramic works, one may be reborn like the phoenix in the fire and look at his life with a new perspective. His creation would then become the embodiment of his philosophy, the monument of his enlightening and creative direction in the future
