展出作品
Circulation循環系列：這件作品正面看，像是樹木的橫截面，一圈圈的“年輪”，仿彿在告訴觀者，它經歷了很長時間的歲月洗禮。但當視線移至作品兩側，會發現這個年輪，其實是藝術家以蠟接合條塊狀的人造書頁合成，層層的包裹，凝固，再包裹，以人工物與自然物的混合連結，喚醒大眾對自然原始樣貌的珍惜。
從自然生長的樹木、被加工後的紙張、嶄新的書籍、書籍中承載的知識、回收、循環往復，Jessica Drenk 潔西卡·德里克 作品，從一個單純清晰的概念出發，直率的連結對大自然與生命循環思考，以其獨特的創作語言，反思對大自然的尊重、敬畏：人類如何從大自然汲取資源、同時與知識傳遞的商業行為取得平衡？
藝術家介紹
Jessica Drenk潔西卡·德里克 （美國，b.1980）美國亞利桑那大學藝術碩士，主修3D藝術創作，透過創作傳遞物質的可塑性，延伸自然與人 造物間循環應用的關係。展出經歷遍及全美，包含艾佛哈頓博物館、亞伯科基博物館、圖森美 術館等，作品獲耶魯大學美術館、世界百大藏家Sherry Malin與Joel Malin、Nike執行長Mark Parker、富達投資、和麥卡倫酒廠等機構與私人藏家收藏。
Drenk的創作理念源於對大自然的崇敬，以及物質形變的可能，在她的作品中常見有機的形體、花紋或質地，或是經人工再造的創作媒材如書冊或PVC水管等，也會歸根於大自然的型態。作品《Circulation》透過裁成條狀的書頁合成樹幹切面，表達生命循環和自然與人造間的連結；作品《Implement63》將數千的鉛筆黏合，再經磨砂處理，褪去外部人為加 工的色彩與包裝，留下天然的色澤質感，呈現內外兩種不同型式的對照。
