「窗之一 」完成 "Window-1" finished

作品「窗之一」已完成，材質使用了夜光線、反光線及含螢光劑的線材。和作品「樹牆」一樣，會交替用紫外線燈、投射燈和無光線三種狀態去創造不同的效果，以下是模擬的影片。
This work is woven with luminescent and light reflective threads. The plan of the installation is to give different light resources to reveal different layers of  images. Here is the simulation.

個展已到最後一個週末，歡迎參觀指教。如搭乘高鐵，可坐接駁車﹝台中公園線﹞在公益路口站下車，再步行幾分鐘就可抵達畫廊。

窗之一 Window-1

Last week I decided to install air conditioner in my studio because I found the Jacq3D lifted crazy pattern.
上星期六，家裡Jacq3D提花機換了一個新龍頭後，還是有狀況。這次是亂提綜絲或是沒反應，我忽然領悟到這是氣溫太高導致電路秀逗的症狀。記得丹麥朋友提到夏天使用提花機TC-1時會發生不正常的狀況，裝設冷氣後維持在攝氏二十多度才解決問題。所以趕緊安排電氣行來裝冷氣，果然冷氣一吹，折騰一年半的所有問題霎時消失了！！！
實在是太──神──奇──了！！！

Those grey blocks are created by the wrong lifting. The most amazing thing happened when the room temperature dropped. The loom acts almost perfectly. For one and half years, this is the first time that the loom weaves flawlessly. I am very happy!!!
上圖中灰色色塊是提綜錯誤的結果。現在覺得Jacq3D提花機有希望了。

 Now I wove two panels of a new work--"Window-1". There will be four panels to piece a set of window. To see how these two panels look, I pin them on the wall and put the UV light on. Then, here is the simulation of it.
這幾天開始織「窗之一」，是窗系列的第一件，由四片拼成。目前已織完三片，但是第一片太短，要重做。下面影片是已織完的兩片的光照效果，因為只是臨時貼在牆面，還沒裝裱，所以外形有點歪曲。影片是模擬出預計的轉換效果。

I wish to weave a series of windows. This time I use reflective thread in stead of stainless steel.

作品「樹牆」"The Wall of Tree"

Here is the simulation of the light effect of "The Wall of Tree"

個展作品之一「樹牆」在特別燈光照射下的效果，以下為摹擬的短片。

It is better if you can see it in person.

在展出現場可以感受到材質與光效之間的差異與微妙之處。

春天來了 Spring is here

Spring is here. Shalley removes her winter coat and has her spring coat now. We can gather so much fine wool for only one combing. Most of the hair is from inner coat and is as soft as cashmere.
今年的春天有點晚，雪莉已經換完毛了，每次梳毛總會有一大坨細柔的裡層毛，細柔的品質　有如克什米爾羊毛。

The Mango trees are blooming. It is a special flower that has bad odor. Farmers use rotten fish to attract fly to do the job of bee. Therefore it doesn't smell good when you walk through the mango field.

附近的芒果園也正開花，芒果花有一種奇怪的味道，果農又用死魚來吸引蒼蠅幫忙授粉，所以現在芒果園的味道實在不好。

變色花帽 blooming floral hat

This week I finish two hats made of hand-woven fabric. The fabric has UV thread as weft. Therefore the white hats will "blossom" under sun light. It is cheerful to have these accessories when we saw so many disastrous news recently. It was a cloudy day when I took the photos. The color of flower will be stronger if  it is a sunny day.
這星期用手織布縫好兩頂帽子，因為緯線是變色線，所以白帽子在陽光下會「開」出彩色的花朵。特別在看到那麼多天災的新聞後，看到色彩的變化能讓人稍微開心一點。拍照那天其實是陰天，所以色彩淡了一點。
