Various Community Art Projects
Community 可指「社區」或「社群」。
1984年，我搬到石澳居住，一開始，我把山坡上一塊巨大的石頭髹上繽紛顔色，全村都知道村裏來了一個藝術家。半年後，跟鄰居熟絡了，我經常替街坊畫招牌，在屋外畫壁畫等。不到半年，我的作品散佈村落，不自覺地，我開始了社區藝術創作。
之後，我被邀請參與傷健合作藝術創作，一做就是十多年，對像大多是自閉症，唐氏綜合症，聾啞和智障人士等，有時是普通公衆人士。

Recently my students—with my guidance—collected oral history in the community and translated the information into art works. I also work with NGOs to allow students to express what they have learned and their learning experiences via art. This way, community art has become the means of education.
