回過神的時候，我在桌子前紀錄著關於廚房的事，起因是我在前一份工作裡的角色是廚房的一員，也是在那時搬進了現在的住所，不曉得為什麼我特別在意廚房，他是個兩坪左右的很普通的家的配備，面壁的流理台，隨著牆面而成的L型，面對流理台的時候後方是和客廳間隔開的拉門，一天的起始和結束都必定會來到這裡，裡頭藏著一點一滴累積起來的生活，待在那裡我感到舒心，即便不做飯的時候。
一個人在這個廚房裡是剛好的，兩個人以上的話那要是親近的人才行；我該用什麼言語形容比較好呢，如果是在閒談的狀況我會直白的表示那裡是我的心裡腦袋裡，我和我在一起的地方，我試著在走出廚房的時候回想在裡頭的情境。
I came to my senses while sitting at my desk, writing about the kitchen. This started because I used to work in a kitchen and moved into my current place around the same time. I don’t know why, but I care a lot about this kitchen. It’s a regular, seven square meters kitchen with an L-shaped countertop against the wall. Facing the sink, there’s a sliding door behind its separating the living room and kitchen. Every day, I start and end my day here. It’s filled with all the bits and pieces of my life. I feel calm and comfortable there, even when I’m not cooking.
The kitchen is perfect for one person, if there are more person come in they need to be close friends or family. How can I best describe it? In conversation, I’d just say it’s where my head and heart are where I am with myself.
As I leave the kitchen, I try to remember what it was like inside.

【藝術家簡歷】
茹子
本名陳冠如，1995生於台灣台中
創作初期多圍繞女性自覺等相關探索，從她們的28日觀察女性生理直至心理的變化，亦從向外的探 究轉為更心境層面的感受，把身為女性的這個角色作為基礎而進行的日常觀察，在奮力訴說的時候發現更想成為生活的軟墊，期望能夠接住洪流中的自己與他人。
經常使用的媒材包涵油性粉彩、繡線、羊毛等複合媒材，透過材質的溫度感企圖使作品帶來擁抱的觸覺，題材包涵植物、靜物、景色以及抽象心裡，在女性之後更琢磨再自己與自己的對話。
總的來說，我用這些媒材說出所觀看的事物。希望能成為生活的軟墊。
My early creative work largely revolved around explorations of female self awareness and related themes. For example, I observe the 28days cycle to understand the psychological changes women experience. From the outward toward shifted inward a more heart feeling sensitivity. It became a practice of daily observation grounded in the role of being a woman,In the midst of striving to speak out, I found a deeper desire to become a cushion for life. I hope to catch both myself and others in the torrent of life.
The media I frequently use include oil pastels, embroidery and wool etc. Through the tactile warmth of these materials, my work seeks to create the sensation of an embrace. My subjects range from plants, still life, and landscapes to abstract emotional landscapes. After my focus on women, now I delve deeper into the dialogue with myself.
In conclusion I use these materials to voice what I observe. My hope is to become a cushion for life.
