「李美娟：維城淨土II - 煉土採色」藝術家講座 “Carol Lee Mei-kuen: Told by the Soil – Stories of Victoria II - Colour Mining” Artist’s Talk

「煉土採色」是「維城淨土」展覽的第二章。這次，藝術家李美娟一粒一粒地篩選般咸道24至28號的原生土，依泥土的顏色分類，再經篩煉、研磨，製成了顏料，最後分出一百種顏色。這些顏料便是《B.Rd 24-28/1/100》的一百色。

從原生土煉製成顏料，再製成油墨，是沒有現成的配方。李美娟重新出發，由零開始，尋找顏料和調合劑的完美比例。最後，以般咸道的一百色，調配出獨特的油墨，以《時間的色度》作為藍本，用凸版畫印了365日原生土的時光。

李美娟不懈地鑽研和探索，整個創作過程的辛勞與悲喜，皆會在是次講座中娓娓道來。此外，李美娟亦會與主持、觀眾一同探索版畫創作的無限可能。

Colour Mining is the second chapter of Told by the Soil – Stories of Victoria. This time, Carol Lee sieved and ground the primary soil to examine the colours it contains. The primary soil excavated from No. 24-28 Bonham Road was visually inspected and separated into particles of different colours. The samples were then sieved and finely ground into pigments, resulting in a range of 100 colours. 

There is no recipe to follow for making inks from these primary soil pigments. Carol had to start from scratch and search for the best ratio between pigment and binder. In the end, she used Shades of Time as my colour reference and made relief prints for 365 days with the inks prepared from selected pigments of the 100 colours of “B.Rd 24-28/1/100”. 

Carol has devoted herself to researching and exploring primary soil. The toils and joys she experienced throughout the entire creative process will be revealed in this sharing. Additionally, Carol will explore the possibilities of printmaking together with the moderator and the audience.
