鄉愁處方箋 Ethicals of Homesickness (1999)

漸漸習慣了明艶的風景的一年後，鄉愁才真正的開始。這時我對朋友的書信極其渴望，也常常讀蘇武和李陵往返的那幾封真情流露的魚雁，想從那些文句中去找到一種同理的慰藉。書信（可以捧讀的）成了解愁的特效藥。我就影印了它們然後貼在畫紙之上作為開始。「鄉愁處方箋系列」屬紙本而且是尺幅較小的小品。這裡的「拼貼」（collage）也延用到後來的「凝視生命系列」。另外值得一提的就是畫面的對稱打破了！

One year later when I was accustomed to the enchanting surroundings of Victoria, the real homesickness began. At this time, I craved for letters from friends. Oftentimes, I read historical letters been interchanged by Su Wu and Li Lin in an attempt to get solace from similar emotions.
Written letters became my best remedy to relieve my homesickness. So they were copied and pasted on the drawing paper to start the “Ethicals of Homesickness Series.”Even they are small in size, but there are two things worthy of mention: college is appearing on later works of “Gaze into Life” and the former symmetry style no longer exists.
