A.C.T. or Pig headed clear minded bulldog with boobs, 2021
Gouache, watercolour, ink on paper 117 x 80 cm A.C.T stands for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy but it has the nice double meaning of also encouraging to act. The tentacles are the useless thoughts that cloud one’s mind, trying to distract this woman who is trying to rescue a small baby turtle from pollution. Her hands are covered in red blood, showing that even though she is guilty and imperfect, she can still aim to think clearly and perform a positive act. That is what the climate crisis needs: we need imperfect warriors. |
〈A.C.T. 或者有胸部的鬥牛犬固執又神智清醒〉, 2021
不透明水彩、透明水彩、墨水、紙 117 x 80 cm A.C.T 代表了「接受與承諾療法」,它同時也具有「鼓勵行動」的雙重意義。章魚的觸手象徵頭腦無用的思緒,這些思緒使得這名正在拯救烏龜寶寶免於污染的女性分心。她的雙手佈滿鮮血,展現出即便她不完美,甚至有罪,她仍然可以釐清思緒並積極行動。在氣候危機之下,這正是我們需要的──不完美的戰士。 |
