序

　　所謂民間藝術，
　　即是由沒沒無名的村民們動手所創造出來的藝術品。
　　在人們稱作是故鄉的土地萌芽，
　　與眾人的生活緊緊相依，
　　藉由父母教授給兒女，不斷傳遞下去。
　　作品裡浮現的，
　　不單是一個人的樣貌，
　　而是潛藏耆老長年傳承下來的氣息。
　　無聲的圖樣與紋飾隱藏了祕密信息，
　　體現人們敬虔的崇拜。
　　
　　So-called folkart is the artwork created by groups of anonymous villagers by hand.
　　
　　These artworks sprout from the earth of "homeland" and are tightly bound to the people's life.
　　
　　They are handed down from parents to children.
　　
　　What emerges in the works is not only the appearance of a single individual, but also the latent
　　atmosphere passed down from older generations.
　　
　　The reverent worship is embodied in the secret messages of wordless designs and patterns.
