Lam is a printmaker artist who is influenced by materials from natural environment, especially the Ceiba trees near his living place. This has led him to explore themes of coactivity between human and nature, self-awareness and symbolism.
The Ceiba is an important symbol in Lam’s artwork oft denoted as the “Tree of Life”. The mythologies portray the Ceiba as a benevolent living structure, protect- ing and shielding the beings in the tree’s habitat. Lam portrays newborn babies safeguarded by the majestic Ceiba trunk or the gentle Ceiba blossoms. Turning to distant and archaic ideologies, the artist reminds contemporary audiences of the forgotten and discarded nourishments that nature continues to bestow.
林的作品顯示出對木棉樹的造形、歷史文化背景及當代處景的濃厚興趣。他透過版畫及混合媒介來演繹木棉輕柔的棉花、有瘤刺的樹幹和火紅的花。反覆探索何謂愛和連繫。
響往遠古人類聚居木棉大樹下,跟自然維持著互相依賴、互相尊重的關係。但當人類文化已經凌駕自然,建立對自然的觀念立足於人類主觀利益、科學和科技等範疇,使人們現在的生活與「自然」愈走愈遠,漸漸搞不清楚如何愛、如何連結。
他以木棉樹在香港的處境不斷檢視人與自然之間的區隔,祈使創作的作品本身能 成為人和自然之間的連繫。追溯人類文化始終何處, 「大自然」又在何處終止。
