2009 跨越國境‧山

Beyond the Border - Mountain

​藝術家林舜龍不斷嘗試以各種形式的創作，探討人與環境的關係，帶起台灣與日本的連結互動。坐落於日本新潟穴山村公園內美麗的櫻花樹下的《跨越國境‧山》作品，以代表台灣精神的水牛與結合傳統交趾陶型的門樓創作，跨越門樓中間的門，意味著同時跨越了國與國、人與人、人與自然之間的界線，人們因藝術而得以連結。其後更串連起新瀉穴山村和台灣宜蘭礁溪的六結、大忠兩村締結為藝術姐妹村的機緣。

Artist Lin Shuen-Long continually attempts to explore the relationship between man and the environment through various forms of creation, stimulating links and interactions between Taiwan and Japan. Sitting underneath beautiful cherry trees in Anayama Park, Niigata Prefecture of Japan is the piece Over the Border-Mountain. The water buffalo represents the Taiwanese spirit, combined with a doorway creation composed in the traditional Koji pottery style. The door in the center signifies crossing the border between nations, between people, between man and nature as people are connected through art. This piece also initiated proceedings which made Anayama Village in Niigata artist sister villages with Liujie and Dazhong Villages in Jiaoxi, Yilan of Taiwan.
