難養? 難為吧! International Women's Day

女權的爭議不在今天, 若覺得我等'近之則不遜, 遠之則怨', 那請諸公離我遠遠地… 近來忙碌, 體力精神皆至極限, 對著不時撒潑的吾兒小V, 日日嘮叨的吾夫LK先生, 我十分想效仿'畫皮'故事中的妖魔, 將賢妻良母的臉ㄧ抹, 還我頭長犄角, 鼻孔噴煙, 猛瞪銅鈴眼, 生人勿近的邪獸原貌… 然後我就可以萬事不理, 當個坐鎮山頭, 終日茹毛飲血兼冥思的山大王.
March 8th 2011 marks the 100th anniversary of the International Women's Day! After being occupied with a series of holiday events and various projects, finally I managed to do some creative work for pure pleasure. My long deserted LK studio Etsy shop has gotten an update at last on this meaningful day :)

狂想不全然沒收穫, 冷清了近兩個月, 
是時候更新ㄧ下Etsy LK studio:

The Costume Library Series No.1
Inspired by the restless breeze and unknown flowers blossoming everywhere, I created this trio of porcelain dolls.


春雪
不否認小受三島由紀夫的影響, 男人女人都有耽美的元素. 然春雪中的聰子是位古典大和美女, 不會穿得如此清涼, 所以我詮釋的應該是茫茫白雪裏早春枯枝靈魂.

Spring Snow


夜之華
我常想Delilah剪去大力士Sansom辮子的真正原因, 是受不了丈夫自以為長髪很帥的樣子吧? 曾於Sausalito的藝廊看過描述邊疆少數民族婦女的油畫, 烏亮水滑的髪辮, 高高的銀飾, 美極了! 女孩子真正物質美麗的時間其實短暫, 心碎的刹那人隨之凋謝, 精神與氣質上的美麗是另ㄧ回事.

Night Bloom


雌孔雀的復仇
讀國家地理雜誌二月號, 關於羽毛進化的ㄧ篇文章, 論及孔雀這自負美色的傢伙讓達爾文頭痛, 最終不得不承認外貌的吸引力亦是物競天擇的ㄧ部分. 自然界的鳥類實有些淫靡貴族風, 爭地盤也好, 取悅伴侶也好, 跳艷舞的全是雄性.

Revenge of Peahen
'In an 1860 letter Charles Darwin despaired over how natural selection could account for such an impediment to flight as a peacock's train. He later came up with sexual selection: Gaudy peacocks please peahens and pass on their genes.' - an except from Feather Evolution by Carl Zimmer, National Geographic February 2011.
