我们通过创作塑造自我和世界
布里奇特 -库迪（新西兰）
从传统上讲，每部专著都是艺术家对作品的展示。艺术家的作品源于创作实践，创作实践让艺术家得以权威解读艺术对象。许多艺术作品都是行家里手以实践为支撑、用文字做表述而创造的，芳竹既是诗人又是画家， 她的作品诗中有画、画中有诗、相得益彰、融为一体，展示出一位艺术家的创作实践和生活方式。
We shape selfand world through creation
The traditional monograph presents a body of an artist’s work supported by and encountered through the texts of an expert author whose own practice lends an authoritative reading to the subject of the book, Carissa’s paintings and poems supplement the other, forming a whole, a picture depicting the artist’s practice, and way of life.

芳竹诗画相宜的艺术表现技巧，为洞悉其创作方法提供了良好机会。她力图通过自己的勤奋，以诗画同载的形式与世界碰撞和交融，表明她的创作实践内含个人的和哲学的目的，这个目的已经超越对情感、心理和肉体生存所需的追求。芳竹的作品也许是一位艺术家能够给予他人的最好一课，她真实有力的艺术表达已在我们的世界占有一席之地。
It is this, Carissa’s tandem approach, that offers the greatest insight to her method. The artist’s industry—her need to recounter and decante the world through poetic and painterly compositions—indicates that this practice has personal and philosophical purpose, a purpose beyond production that serves emotional, mental, and even physical survival. This is perhaps the greatest lesson an artist can offer; that artistic expression has a very real and functional place within our world.

芳竹既是一位导航员，也是一位制图师，她绘制了人类经验的共享平面。这些平面我们未曾见过，也很少有人谈及。芳竹通过自己的诗和画，把语言赋予蕴藏其中的创作劳动。我们看到芳竹的诗和画，就像看到她本人，看到人性中模糊而平凡的角落。芳竹的作品令人沉思，让平凡显得不再平凡。她的作品经常以冷静巧妙的方式，把情感注入用语言无法表达的事物。芳竹的诗和画，足以把我们的情感带回人类初生之时那永恒而共同的一刻。
The artist is both navigator and cartographer, mapping shared planes of human experience that are not seen and little spoken about. Encountering the painting or poem giving language to buried labours is to encounter yourself, to be given immediate access to obscure but common aspects of human nature. Carissa’s works meditatively make common the uncommon. Calmly and skillfully, they give empathetic form to that which is often below language. Dealing in affect Carissa’s poetry, in words and in painterly composition, orientate us back to the timeless and shared labour of human being.

芳竹的创作实践犹如搭建一副脚手架，引导我们攀援而上，审视那些平日不常显露的思想和欲望。这种方式令我们理解到，她的诗作既是对深层事物的想象结果，又是对深层事物的表象化行为。这是芳竹的创作方法，也是她的创作内容，她的创作目的始终围绕这一点。芳竹在其创作实践和艺术倡导中，强调无论在纸上还是画布上，作品都要具备空间感，要让人感受到造型与力量之美。芳竹以诗画表现时间、生命和欲望的主题，她对待自己的作品，仿佛其中充满油然生成的逃逸之感。
Meng practices by giving scaffold to the thoughts and desires that often do not present themselves in the daily. In this way we can understand Carissa’s poetic as the imaginative production of what lies beneath, but also the act of bringing it to surface. This is the artists method, but it is also her content: in both painting and poem the purpose to of the act of making is a continual reference Carissa both practices and advocates for the ability of composition in space, on canvas and page, to give shape and strength to her own and her audience’s passage. The artist’s poetry and painting deal with time, mortality, and desire, and each artform is approached and treated as if imbued with its own unique propensity to relieve.

芳竹的色彩运用兼顾稳固的结构色与无约束的构图。稳固的结构色是在水平与垂直的原则下，通过颜色和纹理来渲染意境；无约束的构图则通过充满抒情乐感、丰富而细微的大块色彩来实现。不难看出，芳竹的画作情感饱满、手随心动，以和谐搭配为选色标准。另外，芳竹的诗歌皆为精心创作而成，她的诗作在本质上就是对自己过往经历的解读和凝视。芳竹的诗画艺术传递出这样一个理念：我们是通过创造来塑造自我和世界的，我们可以通过语言来推动自己，并通过创造来解码每日琐事，以及超越我们经验的事情。
Carissa’s colour studies tend oscillate between firm structures orientated by horizontal and vertical principals where in colour and texture denominate mood, and more unbound compositions formed by billows of immensely detailed spectrums of apainterly lyric. It is clear that the way the artist produces on the canvas is immediate to an emotional constitution, the hand moves according to feeling,colour chosen according to internal coordinates. The poems, on the other hand seem to be delicately crafted, where in the formal nature of the art is treated as coordinates with which the author uses to translate and gaze upon her own experience.What can and should be taken away from Carissa’s dual artistic practice is the idea that we shape self and world with what we form within it, that we may carry ourselves forward with words, and decrypt, the daily and the transcendent, both throughdaily .Bridget Cuddy（New Zealand）
