在 Bemis 基金会陈列的《彩绘形状》

 Installation of Painted Shapes at the Bemis Foundation, 1993

有无相生，难易相成，长短相形，高下相盈，音声相和，前后相随，恒也。

——《道德经》老子

Linda Casbon 说，“画中的世界是虚拟的，而三维物体是具体的、真实的。树的影子会移动和变化，它是短暂的，但投下阴影的树却是物理存在并且真实的。我把这些元素相并列，把它们视为当下（现实）与无形和无限的相遇。”

Linda Casbon said, "Three-dimensional objects are concrete and real, whereas the world of the painted image is illusory. The shadow of a tree moves and changes, it is ephemeral, but the tree that casts the shadow is physically present and real. I view the juxtaposition of these elements as the here and now (real) meeting up with the infinite and intangible. "

“有无相生”出自于《道德经》第二章，指有和无是相互转化的，其更深层次的涵义在于指出矛盾双方的对立统一关系，“有无相生”所代表的是中国古代哲学思想的智慧。Linda 关于树与荫的陈述与“有无相生”遥相呼应。

“You Wu Xiang Sheng” comes from the second chapter of the “Tao Te Ching”. It refers to the mutual transformation of Being and non-being. The meaning is to point out the unity of opposites between the two contradictory sides. “You Wu Xiang Sheng” represents wisdom in ancient Chinese philosophy. Linda's statement about trees and shade echoes the “You Wu Xiang Sheng”.

Linda 是一位经验丰富的陶瓷艺术创作者。除了受邀于各大艺术基金会参与艺术驻留项目，她还是受纽约城市基金会支持/赞助的艺术家之一，在布鲁克林积极地开展工作室实践。

She has participated in numerous artist residencies including the Bemis Foundation, the Archie Bray Foundation and the Kohler Arts in Industry Program. She is the recipient of a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship and maintains an active studio practice.

她把作品看作是一种语言，一种表达方式。创作中，即使脱离文字表述，Linda 也能恰如其分地给作品赋予隐喻与联想。作品虽无声，但它们就像是一个词组或一种象征意义。

Her work translates forms into a language of metaphoric associations. It hints at meanings without using literal descriptions. Objects are the visual sounds of this language. She views these pieces as words or emblems. 

当这些词放在一起，就组成了一句话、一首诗或者一篇乐章，成为了一种具有其内在逻辑的叙事… 作品之间自然产生呼应，呈现出完整的线索。

When placed together these words form a sentence, a poem, and a kind of narrative with its own internal logic. Pieces play off of each other unconsciously, forming a complete thought when displayed together. 

—— Linda Casbon

Linda 的作品多为大件手工成型雕塑，丰富的实践经验告诉她从二维到三维的转换是创作过程的重要步骤。陶瓷材料对她而言是可塑的画布，建立起平面形状和立体形态之间的联系。

Linda’s work is generally large-scale hand-built sculpture. In her point of view, the boundary between two and three dimensions is an important aspect of the work. Ceramic forms are used as a sculptural canvas to draw on, creating interplay between painted shapes and actual shapes.

Linda 化整为零的创作思路，启发创作者以新的视角看待作品；她化零为整的作品体系，引发观众重新审视作品之间的关系。

Linda's creative concept from the whole to the part inspires creators to look at the work from a new perspective; her work system from the individual to the whole triggers the audience to re-examine the relationship between the works.
