莊騰翔-大地系列作品

大地系列展現了自然大地的樣貌和造型，以自然元素為靈感，連結金屬材料的特質創造獨特形式造型，這系列主要倚靠的是「觀察後的創造」，創造、觀察、創造、觀察的重複，以一種無中生有的方式逐漸形成造形結果，而這結果和「自然」有著一曲同工之妙。如此創作方式看似非積極的主導意識，卻讓「自然」悄悄滲入到了創作的意識裡。金屬特質、機具加工、物理與化學狀態「自然的展現」，使金屬材質與創作工具因此躍居重要地位，也為造型的可能性具有主導的影響。

類似此方法生成作品，不斷從製作的當下判斷與決定如何生成，造形生於無數「有」的結果，而這「有」又是生於看似「無」的可能中，而我便從中觀察並嘗試將這一過程逐步展現執行在作品之中。而這個過程如《老子》所說：「道生一，一生二，二生三，三生萬物」。

The Earth series presents the appearance and form of the natural Earth, drawing inspiration from natural elements and linking them with the characteristics of metal materials to create unique sculptural forms. This series relies primarily on the concept of “creation through observation,” a process of creating, observing, creating, and observing, gradually shaping the results in a seemingly spontaneous manner. These results harmonize with the essence of “nature.” This creative approach, although seemingly lacking active conscious control, allows “nature” to subtly infiltrate the creative consciousness. The manifestation of metal qualities, tool processing, and physical and chemical states showcases the “natural expression,” elevating the importance of metal materials and creative tools and exerting a dominant influence on the possibilities of sculptural forms. Similar methods are employed to generate artworks, constantly judging and deciding how to create during the production process. The formation of the sculptural works emerges from countless “existent” outcomes, which, in turn, originate from the realm of seemingly “non-existent” possibilities. Through observation and experimentation, I gradually integrate this process of creation and execution into the artworks. This process echoes the words of Laozi in the Tao Te Ching: “The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to Two. Two gives birth to Three. Three gives birth to all things.”
