從一九六一年開始畫了十幾年的畫，從具象而抽象，總算找到了一塊值得耕耘的天地；在抽象的自由空間又悠遊了將近十年，最後又到了一個「窮」境。畫家常被冠以「富創造力」之類的形容詞，對於抽象畫家那自然更適用了，因為他們完全摒棄了「自然形象」的束縛。陶陶然於「創造」之中。當在「手部技巧」及「自由造形」的自負達到了最高點時，我做了一次回顧舊作的省思。猛然驚覺：除了重覆自己，我還做了什麼？我的「創造力」呢？於是在不斷的自我質疑中，廢然停筆，八O年至八一年間幾乎是一片空白！
一九八二年在一次畫家的集會中，我被畫家們的驕傲與無知大大的激動。「創造力」一詞更變成了一把利刃直戮我心。接連一個月中不斷的思索著：創造，什麼是創造？我想到了「創世紀」中創造天地的那一段，根據Revised Standard Version的舊約聖經「創世紀」的第一章中 create用了五次、 made 用了三次。原來在上帝的工作中還有創造與製造之別。希伯來文的Bara是指由無到有的創造，而用 Asa來表示由有到有的製造。在這樣的定義之下，人的任何作為都是不能稱為「創造」的！因此，我領悟到自己充其量也只是具備某種程度「發現力」而已，人在有限中無盡地支取，當然會達到「窮」的困境。
「結」終於打開了！我開始一連串「發現」的試作。為了達到不作「預期控制」的目的，我使用了 大量的自動性技巧，經過考慮我選擇了在未硬化前為流體形態的「不飽和聚脂樹脂」調和各種無機顏料，如二氧化鈦、鉻黃、氧化鐵……等。工作時為了達到完全自動，我隨機的選擇色彩在幾近黑暗之中由不同方向往任意放置的畫板上盡情潑灑之後隨即離開。在下一次進入工作室時(通常是在次日材料硬化之後) 才從不經意中所成就的「畫面」去「發現」滿意的「構成」而將不滿意的部分以白色覆蓋。如此經過不定次數的「製造」直到完成。
這個階段我共做了將近四十件作品，於一九八三年八月二十七日在台北春之藝廊展出。這時發現的喜悅深深的抓住我，在毫無進展的絕境中使我體會到另一種的「救贖」。就如同以賽亞書第十二章所描述的「從救恩的泉源歡然取水」。
Starting from the year 1961, I devoted myself in painting realism till 1972 when the abstract art influenced me deeply. In the following 10 years, I enjoyed the unconstraint thoroughly. With the mature of techniques, I came to a bottleneck and I realized that a halt for reflection is necessary.
On an occasion of artists’ meeting in 1982, I was astonished by a lecture concerning an ignorant boast of “creative power.” On my way home, I started to think about the meaning of the creative power. Earnestly, I read Genesis and found there exists big difference between CREATE(in Hebrew: Bara ) and MAKE(in Hebrew: Asa). Strictly speaking, there is no creative power in mankind and the only ability we have is simply “Discovery.” With this insight in mind, my painting process changed into spontaneous automatism. I employed fluid polyester resin to mix with various inorganic pigments, such as titanium dioxide, chromium trioxide, and ferric oxide to obtain primary colors. When the colored resin was added with hardener, I poured it blindly on boards that had been randomly positioned. On the next day when I came into my studio, I observed the outcome that had been produced. Then I covered the inadequate findings by white color and remained the others. Such process was repeated again and again until an aimless work was accomplished with satisfaction. At this moment, I really experienced the joy of drawing water from wells of salvation that mentions in Isaiah 12:3.
On August 27, 1983 a solo exhibition was held in Spring Gallery featured 40 new works been done in this way.
