水流所至，魚隨而行，是為「水到魚行」；藝術家廖秀梅的創作，正如這句意象的延伸。靈感源自女兒一句戲言「媽媽妳是金魚腦嗎？」讓她以幽默回望自身記憶與生命狀態。於是，一尾尾象徵情感與流動的金魚，開始在日常與心靈間游移——藏身茶湯、遊走雪地、化作青花紋飾——在虛實之間展現記憶與生活的交錯，延伸出「徐徐魚行」的創作詩意。

作品以日常可得的利樂包為主要版材，透過再利用與手工技法，如塗黏、刮磨、針刻與揉摺等，結合一版多色印刷與拼貼，轉化為具層次與質感的視覺語彙。此種以廢材再製的創作實踐，不僅呼應永續環保理念，也象徵自然與人文的循環共生。廖秀梅於版墨紙的能量流動中，展現「魚行不止」的創作精神與柔韌之美。

Where water flows, fish follow. This poetic image—“where the water goes, the fish roam”—beautifully reflects the spirit of Hsiu-Mei LIAO’s work. The inspiration for this collection came unexpectedly, when her daughter jokingly asked, “Mom, do you have a goldfish brain?” With humor and introspection, she began to explore the fleeting nature of memory and the currents of her own life. From this emerged a stream of goldfish, symbols of emotion and flow, swimming between the ordinary and the inner world. They glide through tea, drift across snowy landscapes, and transform into blue-and-white porcelain motifs, weaving a delicate tapestry between reality and imagination. Thus unfolds the quiet poetry of Roaming Goldfish.

The works are created primarily using Tetra Pak cartons as the base material, a choice that merges sustainability with artistic experimentation. Through techniques such as gluing, scraping, scoring, folding, and multi-color plate printing with collage, Hsiu-Mei LIAO transforms everyday waste into richly layered visual expressions. Her printmaking practice, grounded in reuse and handcraft, echoes a deeper message of ecological balance and the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. Amid the tactile rhythm of ink, paper, and impression, Hsiu-Mei LIAO gives form to a spirit of persistence and grace, a vision where the goldfish never cease to swim, and creativity continues to flow.
