「這些年來，我盡量避免去接觸世界的新潮藝術，為的是讓我自己的藝術向泥土紮根，不要受干擾，我要自己成長起來，從中國的文化背景中，從台灣的氣候中，從中國人身後的民族感情中脫孕出來。於是我走向民間。從這個鄉村，到那個村莊，住在小鎮上，巷弄間，看那古老的桓牆上的斜陽，坐在古屋的陰影裡。浸淫在即將消失的『中國面貌』之中，我要找一個答案：『什麼是中國的？』故宮裡的那些高貴典雅的寶物，不曾給我多少啟示。反而是鄉下的那些棄置在竹林溝邊的土陶罐，鄉民的紅磚房子，笨重的傢俱，木雕的神像，廟宇的色彩…它們解答了我的問題。

我看到一個更廣大的中國，一個無限地在創造的靈魂，生機旺盛，一個未為人所知的中國面貌，動徹肺腑，震撼心魄。於是我生活其中，深深地去感受，改造我自己，豐富我的心靈，我去畫，也拍照，傾聽著他們無聲的語言，與他們融合，時間的界線已化為烏有，物與我已成渾然一體。」
