ARTIST STATEMENT #38
S.S.S.S.S.S. Application Essay Excerpt, Year of the Dragon...thirteen cheerleaders forming a human pyramid, a marvel of estrogenic engineering, a monument of esoteric estrogen and pinnacle of my high school career, and I, only I, have been granted the supreme honor of forming the apex to this most essential of American adolescent rituals celebrating the worldly-yet-heaven-aspiring body of the teenage girl, envy of a drooling world.

Banquet Party ( Artist's Statement)
It shines, most pleasant, most of the days
Sometimes it rains, pours down
Being in that place, where the Ghosts of the Past dance with the Present and Future
Like insects in the warm evening summer sun.
This place is warm, bright, colourful and happy -
Sad, angry and desperate as well.
Where the Extremes hold a Banquet
Some people live overregulated lives - far away from that place.
I am watching them, hate what these rules represent, but also with envy

JODIE MACK PRESENTS…
May 16, 2013
Indefatigable– it’s the only word I can think of that in some small way describes Jodie Mack. You can see it in the sheer volume of her accomplishments, including the number of films she’s created, the places they’ve screened, the teaching positions she’s held (and holds!), and the film festivals, exhibitions and performances she’s organized, participated in or contributed to. You can also see it in the w... [more]

My sister was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2011. My painting ‘Bada Re-Born’ is a tribute to her. Bada is my sister’s nickname and this painting tells the story of her journey from disease to renewed health.
This painting which is 72 inches x 72 inches is on exhibition at the Opera Gallery in Miami, Florida. It is a mixed medium geometric piece. I used nails as a metaphor speaking to my sister’s pain as being analogous to the pain of Christ during his crucifixion. Piano wire, tape, acr... [more]
油畫題目(16) 否極泰來 ,Oil painting on canvas Size: 91 cm x 117 cm
臺灣自三、四十年來由農業社會跨進工業社會，再進入現代科技及民主的進步社會，週遭的環境由簡樸到複雜。從政治、經濟、以及媒體傳播的自由，使得人們生活的腳步越來越緊湊。生活的壓力有時感到人生如苦海，轉來繞去擺脫不了煩惱，探討人生必需努力超越昇華，才能達到一個美麗的境界。堅信凡事必有如太極的轉圜,總會有失有得的時候,本画主旨呼籲人們需要以生命的深情順應天理，走出了悒鬱、走出陰霾，以堅忍不屈的意志與環境奮鬥，使精神統一，找回真正的自己。本画是表”靜而後能得”的禪意，最後終能達到[否極泰來]的美麗人生。
Subject: [ When Misfortune Reaches Its Limit, Good Fortune Will Return. ]
