* Birth of Fire/Hon Chi-fun
>>>Friday, May 20, 2005
"I decided to totally unveil my feelings, and was determined to note down in a long triptych all that had happened in the past - episodes that were of yesteryears. The reds, the greens, supporting and contrasting each other, repeatedly imprinting and reflecting upon each other - so dazzling, like daydreaming, like murmuring - I had never been so frank and truthful. All details in the painting were crystallized in silk screen - poems, images, brushstrokes, works in the past, un-sent letters - colours over colours, planes over planes, the triptych was like a journey through purgatory - it was a rebirth, it was a Bath of Fire, where I witnessed the rainbow that was seldom seen in Nirvana."
「決定去明告,眼裡歷歷的如昨,決用長畫去記下一切因緣。紅紅映著綠綠,綠綠映紅紅,紅綠閃爍,反復互印互映、眩目、晝夢、囈語,我將自己坦白了。畫的細節全用絲印凝定,詩篇、影像、筆觸、舊作、未寄的信。色色相疊相壓,畫面連綿超出盲點,人要瞇眼苦苦細讀,但不忍不能不讀。畫又長長難完,定神再三,似是一次煉獄的歷程。畫成,是為《火浴》,自己眼裡出現涅槃難見的彩虹。」
