藝術家論述

紙媒的封面是一封時代的圖畫，是一張共同創作的作品，由時代的美學、氛圍、歷史、人物拼湊而成，把某年月日的當下，以種種不同的手法創作而成。

《號外》的封面在書報攤中顯然是一幅獨特風景，它的尺寸和美學在這幾十年依然在萬亂的檔仔中鶴立雞群。作品《號外景像》（Landscape of City Magazine）把《號外》雜誌歷年499期的封面作一次史無前例的顏色分析，以平面四色印刷的標準CMYK作為分析基礎，將每一期的 CMYK - C（Cyan）青色、M（Magenta）洋紅色、Y（Yellow）黃色、K（Black） 黑色的數據排列出來，每一期的顏色分佈轉化成一道高低起伏的山脈風景，而499期集合而成的，就是歷年由《號外》所建構的時代風景，最後通過 3D 打印方法，從平面變成立體，是為《號外景像》。

2020 裝置版本展示由分析封面、顏色拆解、立體風景的構成到實體3D列印風景的整個過程。
