“2013 清水地景藝術節--潮間帶”
本作品創作於 2013 年於台中舉辦的「清水地景藝術節」，場域位於清水鰲峰山一帶。鰲峰山為重要的考古現場，屬於台灣中部史前 牛罵頭遺址 的分布範圍，年代可追溯至新石器時代中期。考古發掘中所顯現的多重文化層堆積、地層切面與方正造型現象，呈現了人類生活痕跡在時間中不斷累積的結果。
作品從考古現場的文化層結構出發，以帶有幽默感的方式，結合「知」與「吃」這兩種人類汲取世界的途徑，一者透過挖掘、理解與閱讀歷史；另一者透過飲食、身體感知與日常經驗。在地聞名的「東坡肉」，其層層堆疊的形象與豐富肌理，成為作品轉化考古地層的視覺語彙。飲食文化中可被「品嘗」的層次感，與考古中需被「解讀」的文化層積，在作品中形成一種跨越時間的對話。
透過將東坡肉的形體與質地進行再造，作品讓日常生活中的味覺記憶，轉化為一種地景式的觀看經驗，使史前文化遺址不再只是靜態的歷史場域，而成為可被當代身體感知與想像重新進入的空間。在此，「考古」不僅是對過去的挖掘行為，也是一種持續發生的文化閱讀；而「飲食」則不只是生理需求，更是一種承載地方記憶與生活智慧的文化實踐。
作品試圖在考古、飲食與地景之間建立連結，透過「知／吃」的雙關結構，幽默而詩性地回應人類如何在土地之上，透過層層累積的行為、記憶與感官經驗，形塑對時間、文化與自身位置的理解。

“2013 Qingshui Land Art Festival-- Intertidal zone.”
This work was created in 2013 for the "Qingshui Land Art Festival" held in Taichung, Taiwan, and is situated in the Aofeng Hill area of Qingshui District. Aofeng Hill is an important archaeological site and part of the distribution range of the prehistoric Niumaotou Site in central Taiwan, dating back to the Middle Neolithic period. Archaeological excavations reveal multiple layers of cultural deposits, stratigraphic sections, and rectilinear structural forms, demonstrating how traces of human life have accumulated over time.
The work begins with the stratified structure of the archaeological site and adopts a humorous approach to combine two ways through which humans absorb the world: knowing and eating. One involves excavation, understanding, and reading history; the other operates through food, bodily perception, and everyday experience. The locally renowned dish Dongpo pork, with its layered form and rich texture, becomes a visual language through which archaeological strata are reinterpreted. The layers that can be “tasted” in culinary culture resonate with the layers that must be “read” in archaeology, creating a dialogue that transcends time.
By reconstructing the form and texture of "Dongpo pork", the work transforms everyday gustatory memory into a landscape-based mode of viewing. In doing so, the prehistoric archaeological site is no longer treated as a static historical location, but becomes a space that can be re-entered through contemporary bodily perception and imagination. Here, archaeology is not merely an act of uncovering the past, but an ongoing process of cultural interpretation; likewise, food is not only a biological necessity, but a cultural practice that carries local memory and lived wisdom.
Through establishing connections between archaeology, food, and landscape, the work employs the wordplay between knowing and eating to poetically and humorously reflect on how humans, through layers of accumulated actions, memories, and sensory experiences, shape their understanding of time, culture, and their own position within the land.
