生成的風景：關於林瑋萱的生命感知 黃曉微
風景系列1-17，描繪林瑋萱在2006年於美國佛蒙特藝術村（佛蒙特藝術工作室）的駐村感受，特別是大量的散步時間，形塑一種在接受和感受之間所生產出的新形式，那些由快速素描線條和不規則點面形式，所組合而成的感知相像，是一種內在感覺的統整，是藝術家的「在世存有」，更像柏格森的「生命注意力」。
而這奇妙的注意力，來自於生命中的聲音缺席，讓她更加注意周邊情境的流動，在散步的過程中，那些由森林，空氣，露水等，無形中所累積的大自然感知和不完整的片斷音點，成為畫作的本質，揭示她的自我存在。她不再因為無法現身的外部聲音，而感到禁錮及限制，因為身體的感知及視覺，打開了她的情境感受，讓她重新發現一種未定域的感知本質。畫面的組成，無法被藝術家清楚的解釋因果，因為身體及意識有自己的內部運動方向。而那片風景，正是在瘋狂又無法被定域的綜合感受中，所生成的一種自我存在的世界圖像。原來世界早已丟出一個輪廓，而她只是單純的回應，畫面中的流動性就是最好的證明。
透過一個將耳朵借給畫筆的藝術身體，瑋萱重新找回和這個世界的聯繫，我們也得以在觀看的同時，留意並認識那存在的自由愉悅，就在眼前。
The Fated Scenery: Weihsuan’s Perception of Life
Weixuan’s artworks, No. 1-17 of Scenery Series mainly express her inner feelings during her artist-in-residence period in Vermont Art Studio, U.S.A. in 2006. The tremendous amount of time spent in walking engendered her new style formed by the integration of accepting and immersing of her emotions. Those swift sketch lines and irregular dots form the sensuous emulation, which is a kind of integrated inner interoception. It poses as an artist’s “being in the world” or even Henri Bergson’s “attention to life”
The absence of her voice gives rise to this magical attention, which allows her to pay much more observation to the changing sceneries during her walks. All the natural and sometimes perceived broken senses and sounds created by the forest, the air and the dew inevitably accumulated inside her, which are transformed into the essence of the paintings and help reveal her core of existence. She’s no longer shackled or limited to the voice, which she was born without. It’s exactly her senses to feel and see, which open up her antenna to channel with the surroundings as well as enable her to re-discover an undefined sensuous nature. She can’t clearly elucidate the causes of the elements composed in her paintings because the body and the awareness move in their own internal directions. And that particular scenery was the manifestation of her self-existence in the world shaped by a mixture of crazy and indeterminate senses. The outline had long been given to her and she just simply responds. The movements in the pictures are the best evidence.
Via lending out her ears to the brushes, Weixuan recovered the link to this world with her art. We, the audience, thus, are able to appreciate, observe and get to recognize the joy of freedom demonstrating right in front of our eyes.
