Transcript


Inflatable Flowers (Tall Purple, Tall Orange), 1979. When I first moved to New York I started to put inflatables into my artworks, and originally, I included them into paintings, but I wanted the work to be more minimal—more objective. One day I was walking down the street and I saw this store that had inflatable flowers for modern home décor. I went in the store, and I thought—these are perfect. They’re wonderful. I could just buy store-bought display mirrors that are 12 inches by 12 inches, and I could get some acrylic sheets and cut them 12 by 12, and I could just set these inflatable flowers on top, and let them display themselves. What I love about the work is that the reflection is in a slightly different time than the viewing of the surface of the inflatable itself, so it takes us into this metaphysical realm.

《充氣花(高紫,高橘)》,1979年。剛移居紐約時,我開始在創作中加入充氣玩具的題材,最初我將它們放在繪畫構圖中,但我希望作品更加極簡主義,更加客觀。一天,我在街上走著,看到一家店裡有充氣花,用於現代家居裝飾。我走進店裡,心想,這些太完美了。太美妙了。我可以買一些12英寸乘以12英寸的商店展示鏡,還可以買一些壓克力板,把它們切成12乘以12的大小,然後把這些充氣花放在上面,讓它們展示自己。我喜歡這個作品的原因,是鏡内反射出來的充氣花,跟原體的表面視覺呈現出的花有著微小的時間差,這使我們進入一個玄妙的領域。
