Statement声明

I am aprinter specially for thelithography.我是一个打印机专为平版印刷。

Lithography is a 200 year old printing technique,invented in Germany.光刻是一个200年历史的印刷技术，发明于德国。Unlikethe etching or engraving on metal plates, it is a planographicprinting process based on the resistance of water togrease.不像在金属板的蚀刻或雕刻，这是基于水至油脂的阻力的平版印刷工艺。 An image is drawn on limestone or an aluminumplate with a greasy substance, such as a crayon orink.一个图像被描绘在石灰石或铝板与油腻物质，例如蜡笔或墨水。 Then etched with acid to make stabilize theimage.然后经酸浸蚀，使稳定的图像。 After dampening the surface with water, printingink adheres only on the imagearea.润湿的表面与水后，油墨附着只在图像区域。 When the matrix is run through a press with asheet of paper, the inked surface istransferred.当矩阵是通过按与一张纸运行时，着墨表面被传送。

Thefluid, spontaneous strokes that appear in lithography because ofthe grain of stones or aluminumplates.出现因结石或铝板的粮食光刻中的流体，自发招。 Unfortunately, to the printer, always morerespect on printingtechnique.不幸的是，到打印机，在印刷技术总是更多的尊重。

Iconjecture that beyond technique, however, the successful work ofart will be a fortuitous marriage of idea, image, andprocess.我推测，超越技术，然而，艺术的成功的工作将是一个偶然结婚的想法，影像和流程。

My worksare most of representational as a frozen land scape or the viewbeyond window with raindrops.我的作品是最代表性的冻结土地景观或超出窗口视图与雨滴。 Some are abstractions for contemplative immersionto studies of refractory patterns of city lights atnight.有些是抽象的沉思沉浸到的城市的灯光在夜间耐火材料模式研究。

Eitherabstract or representational, I aim to depict the atmosphere of theconfined space, naturally composed and naturally existing objectsin myworks.无论是抽象或具象，我的目标是描绘密闭空间的气氛，自然地组成并在我的作品中自然存在的物体。

It is amost important for my works, because I hope that my works willbecome a window of healing to calm one'smind.这是我的作品中最重要的，因为我希望我的作品会成为医治的窗口平息一个人的心灵。
