‘I wanted to escape from the boundary of the skin and to acknowledge the body as a place of transformation. The Domains really got going when I realised I could describe the space of the body as a matrix formed from 8 lengths of stainless steel and with a loose set of rules: one end of each T-connection should always be on the skin surface, and the rods should be as orthogonal to the original skin surface as possible. As the work progressed, it achieved tension, and a minimum member rule arose, which involved using the least amount of material necessary to convey the attitude of the body, while still allowing it to stand. Each Domain is an attempt to separate the subtle body from the mate🔜rial body; to abstract an attitude and expose it to light and space. It is a diagnostic instrument; both a r🍒eceiver and a transmitter.’

「我想要脫離開皮膚的限制，將身體看作一個用來改造的場域。當我意識到自己可以不受陳規限制，用八根不銹鋼條組成的矩🐷陣表達身體所處地方時，《領域》系列真正進入了巔峰期：每個T字連接處都要有一頭在皮膚表面，而棒條則盡量與原本皮膚表面呈直角位置。作品創作過程中逐漸充盈緊張感，也慢慢確立起最基本的原則，即以最少的物料完成人體姿勢，同時亦要確保雕塑能夠直立穩定。每個《領域》作品都嘗試將內在的微妙人體與外在的物質人體分離開來；試圖以抽象方式完成人體姿勢，令其存在於光線下和空間內。它是一種診斷工具；既是接收者，亦為發送者。」
