Lime Chang

一位兒童藝術教育工作者／藝術家

每天都用黑色奇異筆在廢紙的背面進行創作，簡單卻又有無限可能。如果那張廢紙原本要被回收或者丟棄，何不拿來畫畫？

因為無法符合大眾對於「寫實主義」的標準，我一直對畫畫沒有自信。然而，我卻成為了一位「藝術老師」。在課堂中我鼓勵我的孩子：「畫畫沒有對錯，畫就對了！」我不斷鼓勵孩子們畫畫自己卻不常畫畫，後來我決定給自己一個挑戰，每天都要畫畫，畫一百天。就這樣一直持續到了現在。

我的靈感來源有些是和生活中有趣的事物所產生的連結，有些則是憑空想像出來的。另外有一部份來自我大學念的科系「社會學」，這些作品通常有比較多我想傳遞給大家的觀念，像是「汙名」、「權力關係」、「性別」等等。

Lime Chang teaches children art, which involves using black markers and waste paper to be creative. It’s simple, yet there are unlimited possibilities. You could recycle that piece of waste paper, or just get rid of it, but how about drawing on it?

Growing up, I actually lacked confidence in my drawings because I couldn’t draw according to the standards everyone has when it comes to ‘realism.’ Nevertheless, I became an ‘art teacher.’ During class, I like to encourage the kids by telling them, “there are no correct answers or mistakes in drawing; drawing is just right!” Then it got me thinking, “I ought to walk the talk!” So, I gave myself a challenge: draw every single day, for one hundred days. I’ve stuck to that until this very day.

I have many sources of inspiration. Sometimes it’s something interesting that has happened in my life, or an object I spot and really resonate with. It could also be something intriguing online that I transform into a piece of my own. I also find inspiration in what I studied at university – sociology. Usually, those pieces revolve around sharing a particular concept, such as ‘social stigma,’ ‘power relations,’ ‘gender,’ etc.
