關於作品
About this project
緊鄰淡水河岸的圓山文化聚落，是居民漁獵生活的場域，大量貝殼、骨器所遺留的貝塚地景，代表史前生活、信仰文化與記憶交織的共感場域。 本件作品靈感以史前獸骨、陶器的造型轉化，結合動物親切外觀與鏤空紋理。 在城市與遺構交界的圓山草地上，一只象徵時代精靈的裝置藝術誕生。展件同時嵌入民眾共創的紙雕部件，並以親子友善的設計，鼓勵民眾互動，在觀賞與遊憩間，建立跨越千年的歷史文化連結與藝術對話。
Along the banks of the Danshui River, the settlement of the Yuanshan Culture once served as a center of fishing and hunting. The shell mound that remains there, filled with shells and bone tools, embodies a shared space where prehistoric life, belief, and memory converge.
In this work, the forms of ancient bones and pottery are transformed into a friendly animal-like figure with openwork patterns. On the grassy expanses of Yuanshan, where city and ruins meet, an installation symbolizing the spirit of the age comes to life. Embedded within the piece are paper-sculpted elements co-created by the public. Designed with families in mind, the work invites playful interaction, creating connections across millennia and allowing history and culture to speak through art.
Artist

Johan Cheng臺灣 / Taiwan
A paper-cutting artist from Taipei, she graduated from the Department of Agricultural Extension at National Taiwan University. Working primarily with craft knives and paper, she has developed a distinctive visual language in paper sculpture, using light and shadow, layering, cutouts, and linework to create delicate three-dimensional effects.
Her subjects often draw from Taiwanese street scenes, local stories, and community co-creation, transforming them into warm, immersive paper-sculpted environments. She explores neighborhoods, alleys, old shops, and markets, using paper art to document the connection between people and place. Her practice spans public art, lantern festival curation, brand collaborations, and she has also worked as a prison art instructor and radio host.
Representative works include “Taiwan Hundred Views – Riverside Scroll” in Taipei’s East District and “Southern Chronicles, Taipei Stories” at Treasure Hill, Zhongzheng District, Taipei, showcasing her meticulous attention to cultural memory. Recent exhibitions include a 2025 solo show in Yokohama, Japan, and she has received the Ministry of Culture Public Art Award. Through her paper-cutting, she creates not just images, but expressions of Taiwan’s tenderness and resilience.
