Artist statement
From a young age, I has admired the intricate craftsmanship and resilient spirit of traditional artisans. Driven by a desire to preserve and carry forward this legacy, I seek to transform bamboo into a dynamic artistic language that contemporises the aesthetics and artistry of ancient Chinese craftsmanship. "Nurtured by diligent hands and enlightened by the passage of time", I believes that the true essence of craftsmanship lies in the union of beauty and virtue. I envisions that through collective learning and shared innovations, this spirit can transcend time and continue to inspire future generations. spirit can transcend time and continue to inspire future generations.

藝術家自述
她自幼仰慕工藝家的精湛手藝和工匠精神，盼日後也能以其創作把工藝代代傳承。把竹子轉化成為藝術語言；把中國古代工藝美學帶進當代藝術。「以雙手孵孕，以歲月體悟」，林氏相信工藝精神包含美與德，互相學習，彼此突破，便能長存。
