我與Hank的相識大約是在五年前，當我開始創作微縮模型不久後，於臉書與IG上首度見到了他的作品。他對於作品細節的專注可說是無人能及，讓我感到驚豔不已並深受啟發。 當時最令我感到欽佩的是Hank在不同比例的作品當中，都能夠非常精確與專注地刻劃出每個細節的技藝。對於大部分的微縮創作者來說，包括我在內都只能夠專精於一到兩種特定的模型比例，但是Hank卻有能力在幾乎任何比例當中，精準地進行微縮創作。此外，Hank可以兼顧作品內部與外觀的種種細節，以及別出心裁地活用日常生活中的各式物件來進行創作，也是我立刻在他的微縮模型中所察覺到的另一個亮點。 他的微縮模型內部結構看起來很紮實、豐富且充滿生活感與真實感，而外觀則更是十分地逼真與栩栩如生。我想應該沒幾個微縮創作者能夠像Hank那樣精準與注重細節。 Hank把微縮當作事業來經營的手法與商業頭腦也是讓我感到佩服之處。很少有藝術家能夠不間斷地持續創作出令人吃驚的作品，又同時洞悉該如何推廣與宣傳。很榮幸地，我有機會在這幾年來看著Hank的作品持續精進，也迫不及待想要見到他下一件登峰造極的新作品。 I first came across Hank's work shortly after I started creating miniatures myself around 5 years ago first seeing his work on Facebook and Instagram. I found his work incredibly inspiring with an amazing attention to detail second to none. What really stood out to me was Hank's ability to work with such precision and attention to detail in a variety of scales with his work. For most miniaturists including myself mainly sticks to one or 2 specific scales when working but Hank has the ability to accurately create work in almost any scale. The other thing I immediately noticed with Hank's work was his ability to create works which were both detailed inside and out and his ingenious use of everyday materials to recreate objects in Miniature scale. His miniature interiors look filled and the spaces look realistic and lived in and his exteriors look incredibly realistic and lifelike as well. There are few miniaturists who can create with such precision and detail such as Hank. The other aspect of Hank that I admire is his approach to making miniatures as a business. In this day in age there are few artists who can seamlessly create amazing work as well as be incredibly business orientated and know how to promote their work. It has been an honor to see Hank's work evolve over the years and I am excited to see where he takes his work next. Joshua Smith 初見Hank的作品時，心裡想著：創作者的心思如何能這般纖細，細膩到幾乎亀毛的境界？！這是我個人接觸粘土細工袖珍世界20年生涯中，第－次感受到的震撼。細看每一件作品中都彷彿訴說著一段雋永的故事情節，能看到甚至聽到創作者在娓娓道來……。不只是物件的呈現及佈局都是精準且毫無做作，就連一草一木、一磚一瓦，甚至是一顆被遺忘了的螺絲釘，都恰如其分的安置在屬於它們的地方，細細地投入了作者創作時的情感投射和一段回不去的記憶，也勾引出大人們遺忘了許久的那份童心，令人駐足良久，心被激動擱淺，視線久久不忍移開，不只欣賞到嘆為觀止的微縮技術也閱讀到一段故事和滿足了色目的渴望。 這二十年一路走來，看著台灣袖珍創作者從稀少到繽紛；作品從樸拙到精緻，Hank 這本作品集的發行必定能將微縮藝術的發展推向另一個境界與層次，讓更多喜愛袖珍同好們有所參考及啟發，共同來豊富這座微縮創作的迷人殿堂。 邱紹松
