這是Lu從影友會回來後,B&TF網友(原來LanaRus twitter也是她,就是讓JB在Lu身上畫一顆心的神人級粉絲)採訪她寫的專稿,2010/11/17刊登於L-Word.com。這一篇是關於藝術創作的訪談,還有Part2會上場,請大家把任何急救措施準備好,我怕我們會被坦率的Lu炸翻

謎之音:又是這件夾克,難得看到Lu戴帽子。

最近在苦惱要不要全篇轉過來?貼全文怕侵權,不貼又怕JBO關門跟tibette.com改版的慘劇發生,傷腦筋中。

我先摘要一段我很有興趣的討論,就是Lu為Radiohead的"House of Card"畫的素描,原來靈感是從50年代(美國黃金年代)的家庭主婦形象來的,Lu好像很喜歡看Mad Men(台譯:廣告狂人,MOD的FX台有播),這裡是畫作跟影集裡的女性討論:

B&TF: The one from the song "House of Cards"?

Sketch (photo courtesy of Laurel Holloman)

LH: Yeah, it's a complete direct sketch of more like a 1950's housewife.

B&TF: But you might change it into something else because all of your paintings evolve into something different…

LH: I have a lot of ideas of what I want to do with her but I don't know. Once I start with these ideas if they are executed in a way that I want them then they'll stay that way. But I find that sometimes the plan that you have for something is not as interesting as the impulsive result. A lot of people like that sketch so much they don't want me to paint over it. A lot of times the people are like, "Just leave it, leave it, leave it", but it's not finished. For me, it's not finished.

(為什麼我看到For Me,總會出現女王說這句的畫面,尤其是電梯那段。)

B&TF: And of course you need to go with your inspiration…

LH: Yeah, at first I was going to call her like "The Good Wife" because she's so representative of sort of a glamorous 1950's wife, almost like a character out of Mad Men, but she's completely void of any kind of happiness. So what I wanted to do is to go in and play with the juxtaposition of…

B&TF: Goodness and loneliness?

LH: Yeah, like I've seen it in January Jones in Mad Men, I don't know if you've ever watched that show…

B&TF: Yes, I did.

LH: When she start shooting those f***ing birds with a cigarette dangling from her mouth and a perfect Grace Kelly hair, (January Jones in Mad Men) I just have a very different understanding of that. That's what is in that painting because it's somewhat connected to this Radiohead song, which is if you listen to the words of the song there's this moment when it's like, "Throw your keys in the bowl, kiss your husband goodnight", which is like a key party

I guess, in general I have to figure out where this painting's gonna go because my focus is on the societal expectations for what you suppose to be when you become a wife.  That painting is the beginning of that seed. It's just like if you were to plant a seed and you're digging the dirt, and plant it in there and then you see what's going to happen. That's why I also didn't finish painting it because I don't know what I want to say with that painting, I don't know yet. It's almost like I've got that far with the sketch and now I'm not sure where I want her to go.

Sometimes I feel like when I don't finish something I don't emotionally know what the answer is yet so I just come back to it later. And then some stuff I start and then after 24 hours of complete painting I just immerse myself in it and it’s done. Like “And, I love You” is the painting that went really, really fast but then "Swan Dive" took months…

PS:粗體字是我標注的,注意這段Lu在思考社會對女性成為「妻子」的期待,還有她現在不知道她要讓「畫中的她」何去何從。我本以為Radiohead的"House of Card"是意有所指,結果指回來的是畫畫的人
