無須如此

Abstract

本論文以自傳式書寫，沿著時間軸前進，揭露作者如何經由生命經驗發掘自身之潛在議題，更如何進一步藉由創作回應生命經驗。 緒論揭開序幕，點出開端引發之創作動機及後續脈絡。第二章從向外探求及向內自省兩方向交織推演，摸索自身議題與創作之關連性，其中包含透過藝術家作品釐清關心範疇，並鼓勵作品與哲學理論產生對話，藉以觀察自身創作狀態。第三章詳述畢業製作《鍵結》發展過程與意涵，且於第四章表述心得與檢討。第五章將研究所生涯回顧統整，作為感念及下一階段之祝福。

The autobiographical narrative of the thesis follows a chronological timeline, where the author explores how latent personal and intimate subject matter was revealed by way of life experiences, and how the author responded to life experiences by creating art.

The introduction evokes the desire to create as the starting point that led to the exploration of ideas. The second section, looking both inwardly and outwardly, examines the intertwined relationship between the author’s own personal exploration of self and her artistic output. The author engages in various lines of examination, including using the work of other artists to refine her understanding of her own personal and expressive concerns, and analysing the creative process she pursued in light of a dialogue between philosophical theory and her own art works.

The third section relates the development and intended meaning of “The Key-Knot”, the author’s final graduation piece. The fourth section explores the aftermath of the piece in terms of what the author gained and reflections about the piece as presented. The fifth and final section is an overview of the author’s time spent in graduate studies, valued both in itself and as preparation for the future.
