〈心感地圖-河〉以大臺北地區不同時空的衛星空照圖為基底,運用熟料陶土、回收材料及布料等模擬自然與人造環境,展現土地與河流的變遷。
作品分為三個區塊:第一區塊參考1966年大漢溪航照圖,以陶土壓印新北市從農業聚落轉型到工業化產業,呈現地圖紋路;第二區塊參照2008年福衛二號拍攝大漢溪衛星空照圖,透過拼組布料象徵河水流動與地貌變遷;第三區塊以古董裁縫機逆流至淡水河出海口,象徵流經時代記憶。
Mind Map-River draws from aerial satellite images of the Greater Taipei Area across various time periods. It utilizes clay, recycled materials, and fabric to simulate both natural and man-made environments, highlighting the transformations of land and rivers.
It comprises three parts: The first part references a 1966 aerial map of the Dahan River, employing clay impressions to illustrate New Taipei City’s evolution from agricultural settlements to industrial developments. The second part references a 2024 aerial perspective of the Dahan River, using fabric collage to represent the river’s flow and the evolving landscape. The third part features a vintage sewing machine, symbolically traveling back to the Tamsui River estuary, representing a journey through historical memories.
