霞光從容現身，漸起煥亮的橘黃，不一會兒時間，就暈染了整片天空，也牽動人心轉爲溫暖明亮。
竹材從傳統剛毅個性蛻變，彷若霞光的不可知韻律，它只朝往美的路徑前進，充滿活潑的動感，煥彩的面貌但仍保留優美底藴，予人更多想像。
傳統竹藝中常用來製作燈籠的「輪口編」技法，是以相同角度的竹片堆疊成一個螺旋造型的圓口，向外則呈現多角星狀；藝術家林靖格以此為結構基礎，透過多個輪口編織不斷接觸連綿，形塑出令人目眩、超過慣性的迴旋韻律。
捨棄傳統雕塑中造型語彙的束縛，將操作過無數次的熟悉材質——交織與通透的竹篾，結合大膽色彩，也為創造明亮而現代形象，竹片逐一進行水染色處理，橘黃色系竹材編織，呈現交疊鮮活景致。
「雲煙—煥彩」是源自自然的創作，也是無從侷限的舞作，顛覆竹藝雕塑的想像——原來竹藝可以超越舊有的鄉土印象，帶來深具力道的視覺衝擊。
The gentle glow of twilight emerges, gradually revealing a brilliant orange hue. Within a short period of time, it permeates the entire sky, stirring the hearts of those who witness it, filling them with warmth and brightness.
Bamboo, a material traditionally known for its toughness, undergoes a transformation akin to the enchanting rhythm of twilight. It follows a path towards beauty, filled with lively dynamics and vibrant colors, yet retaining its elegant essence, leaving ample room for imagination.
The “circular weaving” technique, commonly used in traditional bamboo art for making lanterns, , in which bamboo stripes are stacked at the same angle to form a spiral-shaped round opening with a multi-pointed star look. From the outside, it presents a multi-angular star shape. Artist Lin Jin-ke uses this as a structural foundation, connecting multiple circular weavings to create an eye-catching, unconventional circular rhythm that transcends conventional practices.
Breaking free from the constraints of traditional sculptural vocabulary, Lin Ching-ke combines the familiar material of interwoven and transparent bamboo strips with bold colors to create a bright and modern image. Each bamboo strip is individually treated with water-based dye, and the orange-hued bamboo is woven together, presenting a lively overlapping scene.
“Radiance - Clouds of Smoke” is a creation inspired by nature, as well as a boundless dance performance. It subverts the imagination of bamboo art sculpture.
