YEN YU TING
顏    妤     庭

Fence is Yen Yu-Ting’s first attempt at creating large-scale ceramic installations. The artist utilizes 3D software simulation and ceramic filling techniques to explore possibilities in creating medium and large-scale ceramic works using layering methods. 

Featured in the Frontier No. 11 Gallery is a fence built with ceramic objects. The artist uses the shadows created by the light penetrating through the holes to create a projected scene that resembles layered metal wires on the wall. At close inspection, viewers will discover that the layered ceramic objects are human figurines in crouched positions with their faces toward the ground. The figurines are designed with simple outlines, but viewers will sense the stiff numbness of their postures. The figurines are placed (or tread) on top of each other, presenting a precarious balance resembling acrobatics that seems to be some sort of peculiar game or an epitome of society.

〈圍籬〉 是顏妤庭首次嘗試的大型陶瓷裝置作品，她透過3Ｄ軟體的模擬以及陶瓷的灌漿技法，實驗以疊架的方式創作中大型尺寸之陶瓷作品的可能性。

 在展間「邊境11」中可見到一座由陶瓷物件所搭建的圍籬，藝術家透過光線的投射，讓影子映射到牆上，成為有如層層包圍的鐵絲網。若趨近觀察，則會發現這些反覆堆疊的陶瓷元件，實則為彎腰面地的人俑，他們雖僅以簡約的線條勾勒出輪廓，但扔可感覺到其姿態的僵直和麻木，他們互相堆疊、踩踏，以隱隱令人憂心的微妙平衡呈現宛如特技表演般的姿態，似是進行著難以理解的奇怪遊戲，亦是某種社會狀態的縮影。
