Sunny Wang Glass 2004
The complexity, beauty and individuality of the calligraphic element of Chinese signature stamps are the starting point for Sunny's work. She likes people to touch her work, to feel her work, as if touching a simple truth or a moment of happiness.
Sunny completed her Masters in Glass with Stephen Procter and Jane Bruce at the Canberra School of Art, Australia in 2001. Now, having returned to Taiwan and taken up teaching, she creates her own works. Her works have been exhibited in countries all over the world, including Australia, Japan, Italy, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
"I sent myself a present this year -- by subscribing to The Merit Times. I feel that the joyful and positive things in life are much more than the negative and distorted things. People usually tend to pay attention to the black spots on a sheet of paper while ignoring the white space. Rather than appreciating the sunny side of what we see and experience, some people insist on enlarging the dark side of life -- an attitude that leads to unrest of mind and emptiness in life.
My creative themes this year focus on the search for the origin and essence of life. "The Cell Series" features bubbles which represent the atmosphere when the creative ideas were conceived and the texture of the cells from which life begins. "The Chinese Character Series" demonstrates the linear beauty of Chinese characters, the fine feeling of the polished glass, and light which permeates the glass. The "Chinese Character Series" is the statement of my view on life and my expectations. The characters were etched on the round glass vessels. Although nothing is put into the vessels, they carry a certain artistic weight.
In my creation, glass is the material, the glass-blowing pipe is my pen, grinding machines my carving knife, and the sandblaster my trimming knife. The origin of my creation is my thinking and life's inspirations. The different life experiences and thoughts have been recorded faithfully on my works.
I hope my works would not only bring visual enjoyment but also inspiration to visitors."

王鈴蓁 2004 創作自述
2004年我送給自己一份禮物 - 訂鴃u福報」一年，深覺生活中福慧善事多於負面扭曲之事，而人往往著眼於白紙上的黑點，忽略占大部分的空白，執著放大負面事件，忽視陽光面，因而不自覺內心無法寧靜安適，生活覺得無端空虛。
今年我著重於「生命原點探討，純觀生命本質」。細胞系列，作品中的氣泡保存創作當下的空氣氛圍，刻畫細胞單純的肌理樣貌，生命就是由單細胞揭開序幕的！文字系列，刻畫中國文字的線性美感，細磨玻璃溫潤的肌理質感，炫麗色彩透著光，輝映我對生命的觀點與自我的社會期部M粹煉出來的文字元素，刻畫環繞在渾圓容器造型上，容器空而不虛，承捨自如。
製作上，玻璃是我的創作媒材，吹管是我的塑形筆，研磨機是我的刻刀，噴砂機是我的劃筆，思想與生活感動是我創作源靈。每一段時間都會有不同的生活體驗，想法隨年紀而不同，智慧增長刻畫在臉上，作品忠實紀錄著生活的粹煉。
我希望我的作品除了滿足觀眾的視覺外，進而心裡有共鳴，啟覺靈性滋長，種下您心靈的種子！ |
