「縫紉是一種情感修復的過程。」 -路易絲·布爾喬亞-

The act of sewing is a process of emotional repair. – Louise Bourgeois –

在這共享的空間,
繡花圈中的空間,
攝影機內的空間,
錄像機裡的空間。

In this space that we share,
this space among the embroidery hoop,
this space seen from the camera,
this space captured by the recorder.

我們一起,
一期一會,
手拿針線,
娓娓而談,
津津樂道。

他們靜觀,
各取光影,
拿著器材,
咔嚓咔嚓,
盡收眼底。

We gather,
once in a while,
needles in hand,
we talk tirelessly,
and savor delightfully.

They contemplate,
pick their lights and shades,
and wielding their equipment,
snap snap,
capture it all.

我撐起慢針黹帳篷,
和大家縫補連繫,
編織共同的夢想;

靜靜地縫,
絲絲細談,
一吸一呼,
感受息止。

I prop up a slow stitching tent,
to sew and connect,
to weave a shared dream;

Quietly we sew,
gently we talk,
breathe in breathe out,
in stillness we feel.

當天刻上的名字,
今天遇見的夥伴,
明天未完的努力,
盡在這「慢針黹牧民」的帳篷下,
任疫情刹停了一切,
手上的針線還得穿梭向前。

The name carved that day,
the companions we met today,
the efforts we have yet to spend tomorrow,
all nestled under the shelter of Slow Stitch Nomad,
let the pandemic hold off everything,
and still the needles we hold move on.
