In my garden

recalling the poem of Li Ching Chao, of Sung dynasty

As in a dream

written in colorful calligraphy

upon white canvas

years later, revisited her dream,

and  that of mine

sideways

as if to see another way out

another path , returning, yet renewed in a different vision

時空轉換

人生過程的時空轉換如戲劇精髓；過去即現在；現在即未來。七十年代的我，熱愛舞台劇；有幸吳回導演課餘教導及忠告：往外國進修。在加拿大讀過兩年視聽技術，繼而深造視覺藝術。離加後涉足蘇格蘭，翡冷翠，羅馬；一去叁拾載。創作淋漓之際，才恍然大悟：藝術作品深意在於昔日所種的根：無心，愛戲劇，愛文字，愛溜連廣播道的我。故重回香港，重拾某段昔日情，再謝吳回導演。
