BLOCK FIVE:The Fractal Valley of Inner Strata|
余政諺此次的創作始於對「閾限(Liminality)」狀態的思考,缺失儀式秩序的現代社會,閾限狀態已然成常態。他將目光轉向自然,在蕨葉的展開、樹枝的分岔、河流的延伸、岩層的沉積等生態中的生長規律中,看見這些自然分形(Fractal)結構同樣存於記憶、夢境、潛意識與身體感知之中。
他將創作視為精神考古,挖掘沈積於身體與時間深處的感知痕跡,堆積並轉化貝母、石材、金屬等自然物質,讓這些閃耀著光芒、層層疊疊的材料,像是煉金術般精煉成記憶、情緒與經驗的物質載體,訴說著生命本源的故事。細緻的作品成為自然與內在、物質與精神之間的閾限場域,在建立自身的生命秩序中,不畏未知的迷航,重新校準並與世界連結。
Yu Cheng Yen’s latest body of work begins with a reflection on the state of “liminality.” In modern society, where ritual structures have largely dissolved, liminality has become an increasingly pervasive condition. Turning his gaze toward nature, Yu observes patterns of growth and transformation in the unfolding of fern leaves, the branching of trees, the flow of rivers, and the sedimentation of rock strata. In these ecological processes, he finds fractal structures that also emerge within memory, dreams, the subconscious, and embodied perception.
He approaches his practice as a form of spiritual archaeology, excavating traces of perception embedded deep within the body and across time. Through the accumulation and transformation of natural materials such as mother-of-pearl, stone, and metal, he transforms their luminous, layered qualities into material vessels for memory, emotion, and experience. His meticulous works become liminal sites between nature and the inner self, materiality and spirit, where he navigates the unknown, recalibrates his sense of being, and reconnects with the world.
