你認為你的年代有什麼獨特的美術概念(跟傳統剪紙相反的概念)?
李:在我所創作的圖像當中其實有著很多跨文化的參考以及融合了後現代主義的意念。而且我的作品多數以現時的環境議題及我們人類跟自然環境的關係作為主題,這跟傳統剪紙的概念及主題有著很大的不同。
你認為傳統剪紙和現時的剪紙工藝是否有著一套不同的概念及技巧?
李:我認為現時的剪紙工藝需在作品中包含個人的看法及創意,剪紙藝術者需發展個人的風格及方向以引起現下觀賞者的共鳴。
在2009年,剪紙被列入為聯合國非物質文化遺產名單入面的其中一項。你希望你的作品能更貼近舊時傳統剪紙工藝,或想創作出比傳統剪紙更另類的作品?
李:我會想跳出傳統剪紙的框架。我的目標是希望自己令現代剪紙變得更個人化及更精美。
