中文摘要
公共藝術在台灣已越來越受到民眾的關注，雖然台灣的民眾對於公共藝術的普遍理解以及接受度仍未及其它藝術主流國家，但是我們也的確有著屬於台灣自己的一套藝術行為模式。本創作論述便是筆者觀察以及搜尋台灣各處的公共藝術之行為模式，並從中擷取所需之處，藉此完成筆者的創作「萍水相逢-胡閏翔木質公共家具創作論述」。
創作動機來自於探究筆者幼年時期的遷居經驗，並從中擷取靈感來源發展成三系列的創作，而創作主要形式為公共家具。創作目的為將公共家具藉由藝術的形式與民眾互動，達到 「藝術親近大眾」的目的，以及從筆者自身經驗出發，營造出一個可以讓人們互動、相識的場域。基於上述之目的，筆者搜尋許多有關於公共空間中以家具形式存在的藝術創作，以及相關藝術家的創作模式，並實地探訪這些藝術作品，拓展藝術觀點。
本創作主要分為三系列，分別為「聚」系列、「遊」系列、「倚」系列，三個系列的創作皆是以公共家具的桌與椅之形式做為作品的呈現，筆者使用浮萍的意象轉化為公共家具的外型特徵，企圖營造出一個讓群眾能夠在此休憩或是聚會的地點，並期望民眾在與之互動的過程中能夠體現筆者所欲表達的創作意涵。

Abstract
Public Art in Taiwan has been getting more and more attention. May it be not as pervasively comprehended and accepted as in other mainstream art countries, we do have our own Taiwan style of art patterns. This discourse on creation is based on the personal observation of the author via the search for public art patterns throughout Taiwan, from which elements were extracted for crating this article "Floating Duckweed - Public Spaces Wooden Furniture".
The motive of this artwork creation originated from the exploration of the author's childhood experience of moving, and from which inspirations were extracted to develop three series of creative artwork, themed on public furniture. The purpose of this creative artwork is to let the artistic patterns of public furniture interact with the public, so as to the achieve the objective of "art intimacy with the public". Also, setting out from the author's personal experiences, a venue that allows people's mutual interaction and getting to know one another is created. To fulfill the idea, the author has searched in public spaces for artistic creations embodied in furniture patterns, and explored the creation models of these artists. Seeing these art works personally has widely expanded the author's view on arts.
This creative artwork comes with three series: "gathering", "touring", and "leaning", all of which are presented and manifested with tables and chairs in the public furniture forms. Using the image of duckweed, the author tries to symbolize the exterior features of public furniture, with an intention to create a venue that allows the public to take leisure activities and gatherings within. And hopefully, the public's interaction with the creative artwork can ultimately exude the connotation of creation that the author tries to manifest.
