能夠停留於此的
都將成為自己心中的那個人
不慢、不快、不間斷的繼續做著你相信的事
在你生活的環境裡累積，在移動中發現新的力量
葉海地的畫，不是寫實的山海風景，而是畫出存放於她眼中腦海裡的幻境，日日與自然共生的觀察，創造與人對話的語言，挖掘大自然說不出的秘密。那些被人與時間侵蝕的軀體，也都在畫中一一成為祕境。

Heidi Yip was born in Hong Kong in 1978.   At age 10, she moved to Toronto, Canada with her family.  After graduated in Drawing &  painting at Ontario College of Art & Design, It had fostered an urge, a familiar longing which took Heidi to Mexico, Tibet, the Gobi Desert, New York And then Taiwan, a small island surrounded by the Pacific Ocean.   The indigenous culture here that resonates through the land makes sense, opens paths that welcome you home.  Shapes, patterns, ferns leaves, roots, rocks, water, reflections… The thought energy flowing through them; its an ancient rhythm.  
As people, we are an amazing  vehicle for a greater force called existence. We didn’t invent it. We are not the beginning or the end, but we are a fantastic part of it its high-tech radio receivers -  ‘It’, however, is still the frequency.  The artist’s job is to discern this frequency, use it, and draw connections to it.  This collection by Heidi is a studied ritual guide to that spiritual tuning in.
