Oil and charcoal on canvas

這是我在1992年
師大二年級時製作的第一件畫布

運用十字釘法
施以均衡的力道
一邊將胚布謹慎地繃緊在內框上
一邊用火爐融煮兔皮膠
等著刷覆在釘好的畫布上
還記得那天下著小雨...
據說在雨天所製做的畫布
天晴之後它將因為濕氣的調度
會縝密而完美地緊缚著內框
成為生命共同體

這是第一張自己製作的畫布
完成之後竟遲遲無法下筆
不知道是不忍糟蹋這單調且純潔的畫布
抑或是這畫布已自成一件完美的作品
使我膽怯...

如此的心境
造成在畫布上的一改再改
畫布背面的塗抹便是證明

將近二十年後
在畫室的一角發現這塊小畫布
訝異它並未因多次搬遷而被我丟棄

它讓我想起
一個懵懂而莽撞的少年
終日徘徊在七星潭海邊
思索著茫然又恐懼的未來
.
.
.
今天終於完成它
似乎象徵那段慘綠年少才真正結束...

Shades of Grey

你祇是不懂我的灰
2010

Oil on canvas
80 x 100 cm

the sky is grey
the sand is grey
and the ocean is grey

and i feel right at home
in this stunning monochrome
alone in my way

i smoke and i drink
and every time i blink
i have a tiny dream

but as bad as i am
i'm proud of the fact
that i'm worse than i seem

what kind of paradise am i looking for?
i've got everything i want and still i want more
maybe some tiny shiny key
will wash up on the shore

you walk through my walls
like a ghost on tv
you penetrate me

and my little pink heart
is on its little brown raft
floating out to sea

and what can i say
but i'm wired this way
and you're wired to me

and what can i do
but wallow in you
unintentionally
what kind of paradise am i looking for?
i've got everything i want and still i want more
maybe some tiny shiny key
will wash up on the shore

regretfully
i guess i've only got three
simple things to say:
why me?
why this now?
why this way?
with overtones ringing
and undertows pulling away
under a sky that is grey
on sand that is grey
by an ocean that's grey

what kind of paradise am i looking for?
i've got everything i want
and still i want more
maybe some tiny shiny key
will wash up on the shore
