Black Is A Maze. I was searching for a path that lied between the pure white
and pure black. It was perhaps a detailed grey that depended on the cohesiveness of white and black. I tried real hard to find that perfect cohesion, and when I did, it was always so satisfying. Since then I started to really love more low-key photos with a darker tone. I find this sort of visual pleasure, seeing a radiant light amidst a dark haze. It’s spiritually satisfying for me. Black exemplifies infinite possibilities.
In this issue of ABOOK Magazine, I chose Black as our theme. I really wanted all my colleagues at Abook Studio to be stripped of boundaries, and to see what kind of accidental creativity can be captured in this dark playground. I think this is the spirit of ABOOK Magazine because creativity isn’t about right or wrong, nor should it be limited by commercial needs. Being allowed to explore and create without restriction is like heaven to all photographers and creative persons. Black is freedom. At ABOOK we fly free. -end

ohn Wusah
John Wusah is an American born Taiwanese dancer, actor, and martial artist who was recently named by IMDB as one of the “Top 40 Asian Actors Under 40 to Watch Out for in Hollywood”. John spent a few years in Taiwan as a dancer and choreographer before moving to LA to pursue his dancing career, and has since then performed on Disney’s “Shake It Up”, as well as the singing show “The Voice”. John’s acting career came subsequently and may seem to many as a lucky and smooth ride. However he tells us that it wasn’t all smooth sailing; opportunity really does come to those who are ready and to those who work hard everyday to perfect their craft. During one of his first auditions in LA three years ago, John was seen by a new agency that immediately wanted to sign him. Since then John’s acting career has taken off with roles in the TV series “Mortal Kombat: Legacy”, and the TV film “Perfect on Paper” which is now playing on the Hallmark Channel. John was recently back in Taiwan and ABOOK had the pleasure of sitting down with him to talk about life working in Hollywood and how (through his own efforts) he is changing the ways Asians are cast in Western film.

身為一名華僑，並且在 好萊塢的環境下，除了 種族方面的偏見，你曾 面對過最嚴重的關卡是 什麼?
你心目中有崇拜的華人 演員偶像嗎? 崇拜的原因 是?
我認為身為一名華僑在好萊 屋，我必須面對的最大的瓶 頸就是自己。好萊屋是一個 打槍滿天飛的地方，我被 否決的次數遠多於我被認 同的次數。我失敗了無數次 以至於自己變成了自己最大 的敵人。我認為我根本不夠 格，但是後來我發現我必須 強迫自己化身為自己最大的 支持者。這是我的事業，如 果我自己不相信自己可以勝 任，別人才不會花功夫在我
無庸置疑是李小龍。身為一 名演員，他以華人的身份讓 整個西方文化倒抽了一口 氣。他讓我們能夠與其他人 種平起平坐，他讓我們的人 種忽然變得性感了起來。我 記得小時候看著他的電影的 時會對自己說「這我也辦得 到」他是我直至今日最崇拜 的偶像之一，他將我們黃種 人扶上了世界舞台。
身為一個好萊塢戲劇圈 的新人，有沒有什麼有 趣的故事可以跟我們
分享? 最好笑的一次是某天在工作 場合巧遇 Will Smith 。那個 地方超暗而視線所及之處 又被餅乾與水瓶擋住，我 走上前去拍了對方的肩膀問 說要去哪裡登記？他看了 看四周，指了一個方向說 「呃...去那邊登記」然後又 繼續往桌上放食物。我走了 幾步發現事情好像不太對。 我在心裡對自己說「剛剛那 是Will Smith嗎?」然後又突然 想到「我剛剛是不是還很沒 禮貌的從他肩膀拍下去問路 阿？」想到這邊我立馬跑回 去道歉「Smith先生我感到超 抱歉我沒有看到是你，不然 我就不會這樣拍您的肩膀」 對方笑笑說「沒關係啦， 只是我希望你可以叫我 Will 而 不 要 叫 我 Smith 先 生 」 我 跟他握了手並從他口中獲得 了許多關於進入好萊塢影視 產業的建議。這是我人生中 最精彩的一天之一。他真的 是親切又好相處，並讓我了 解到他何以成為好萊屋一線
大明星。
短短三年的好萊塢生 涯，某些人肯定視你的 成功為「運氣好」。造 成你事業蒸蒸日上真正 最主要的因素是什麼? 驅使自己，用無畏的信念不 斷驅使自己。最重要的就是 比任何人都更相信自己。不 看好我的人我看多了，說我 在作夢，不夠會演，不夠好 看什麼的，反正走著瞧。我 的家人是我成功的另一個最 重要的因素，對於他們能夠 認同並支持我的各種選擇我 感到非常窩心。我每天都打 從心底謝謝他們。
你在不久前剛經歷了一 場大車禍，謝天謝地你 還好好的，但是你用人 生的轉捩點來形容這次 車禍，為什麼? 謝謝關心！我恢復的很好， 應該再一兩個月就完全康復
了。在我躺醫院的三週裡面 我有很多時間思考自己的 人生。我了解到了什麼事在 人生中是真正重要的，事實 上這場可怕的車禍提醒了我 當初來洛杉磯的目的。這場 車禍給了我活下去的目的， 我知道自己就該在好萊屋。 而促成這些成就並不歸功於 我自己，我的家人、我的朋 友、甚至是台灣的民眾，是 我身邊的每個人對我的影響 雕塑出了如今的這個我。
你也嘗試過跨領域去寫 作並製作電影。這是怎 麼開始的? 剛開始演戲的時候我因為得 不到自己想要的角色而無比 躁鬱。我希望亞洲人演出來 不只是外國人眼中以為的 那樣。為什麼亞洲人不能性 感、不能浪漫、不能陰暗、 不能神秘? 所以我開始嘗試 自己刻劃出心目中想演的角 色。如果好萊屋不打算讓我 演出那樣的角色，那麼我會
寫出自己的腳本，用自己的 電影去演活心目中的角色。
你自編自導自演的新 片 “ColorLines” 已經 在好萊屋的中國戲院上 演了，跟我們說說這部 片。 ColorLines 述說一名被黑人 家庭領養的亞洲小孩，飽受 身處在一個沒有其他亞洲人 的都會社區中受到的磨難。 男孩長大後因為感覺到自己 的格格不入而最終捨棄了自 己的家人。但是偏偏卻必須 面對自己的過去與恐懼，回 到家裡去參加養母的忌日。 這故事有某部分也參考自我 的童年。

希望所有的台灣朋友能支 持我。雖然我是個華僑， 但是我很努力想讓華人邁 入國際!你們可以上我臉書 www.facebook.com/jwusah 按讚看看我在好萊屋都發 生了哪些好玩的事情!謝謝 你們每個人!
拍攝空檔我們都一直交換 彼此拍的影片看哈哈。 我很高興有機會可以跟他 合作。
你最近也受邀演出了 Peruchazhi 這部影片 並與寶萊塢巨星 Mohanlal 共同演出。 感覺如何?跟好萊屋的 電影模式有何不同?
創造自己的作品，我們需 要被看見!我們之所以在外 國人眼中的形象這麼扭曲 主要是因為西方文化是如 此解讀並詮釋我們。如果 我們能拿出一些作品讓他 們看見我們的其他面向， 他們會慢慢了解到我們不 只是他們偏見裡的那樣。 我之所以會嘗試自己製作 電影正是因為我希望西方 文化可以接受亞洲人也可 以演愛情片主角、片裡的 體育健將、劇情中的幽默 大師。我們潛力很夠，獨 欠曝光。我們需要讓人們 看見我們的能力。世道已 經在變了，亞洲已經慢慢 踏進好萊屋的門檻。所以
與Mohanlal合作是一次很 棒的經驗，一直到第二天 拍攝之前我根本不知道他 是誰。他很好親近又一直 在我身邊開玩笑，我不懂 大家為何都用敬語稱呼 他。直到我上網搜尋他的 名字才赫然發現他是印度 的超級影星。我又驚又 喜，因為他是那麼好相 處。同時他跟我一樣都是 舞蹈與武術好手，所以在
可以給所有想要進軍好 萊塢的亞洲人一些建議 嗎?
讓我們一起努力提升到更 高的境界吧! -end

Where did you get your training?Tell us a bit about your professional background? I was living in Korea at the time and decided that I wanted to take a makeup course for fun. I was obsessed with cosmetics since a young age and wanted to learn more, so I took a 6-month course at MBC Beauty Academy and I had so much fun! I looked forward to going and I was so interested in everything my teachers had to say, I loved learning new techniques and about different makeup products. Shortly after I knew that this would no longer be just a hobby, it would completely consume me and I was going to be a makeup artist. I came back to Vancouver and decided to further my education and broaden my skills by learning absolutely every aspect of makeup. I went to Vancouver Film School and began working after graduating.
I first started by working on independent films as well as working for cosmetic retailers and travelled to New York, LA and Korea for international makeup trade shows. Soon after I began teaching and working more on catalogue and commercial shoots, as well as feature films. I also love to work on editorials and music videos, especially when the production is from Asia. It’s always interesting to watch things done differently and see what they are accustomed to.
What’s it like working in the West Coast? Any limitations? North America has unions and bylaws, compared to Asia it’s much more regulated and limited in some ways.
You do fashion makeup and special effects makeup as well. What to you are the key differences
between the two genres? Everything. From the kit, to application and maintenance; even atmosphere. A makeup artist who can do both equally well can be hard to find.
Most memorable project you’ve worked on? A Canadian independent I worked on called “Hit n’ Strum”. This was one of the first films I had ever worked on and where I met my now dear friend Jacqueline Nguyen who was producing it at the time. I remember how new and enthusiastic everyone was. We had so much fun and were always learning. The budget wasn’t big enough for the guests out of town to stay at a hotel, so they all stayed at this house and we all hung out there after work and bonded in a short amount of time.
As a Canadianborn Korean now
working on major international shoots, how do you see the K-pop phenomenon or the increasing exposure of Asians in both the entertainment and fashion industry?
What to you distinguishes a great makeup artist from a mediocre one?
I see it growing rapidly in the near future, and it puts a smile on my face. So many North Americans are following Asian celebrities and musicians and watching more and more music videos and dramas. It’s great!
Favorite products or brands? Why?
Does working with Caucasian models differ at all from Asian models? Are different techniques required? Yes, the different features require different techniques and its important not to “over do-it” when applying on Asians, especially with contouring or the eyes.
Being humble, no matter where you’ve gone and what you’ve done. Remembering that you are always learning.
Sappho Cosmetics hands down. This line is free of anything synthetic and does amazing charity work around the world, the foundations smell amazing, melt into the skin, and the longevity is phenomenal. Everyone I apply it on loves it and appreciates the fact that it’s organic.
If you had to only pick one color (and its shades) to work with, which color would it be and why? Red, pinks and corals, I love
how rich and vibrant they are and if used on green eyes, dark and smokey. Beautiful. -end

廖偉宏 的黑色 能量 Mason Liao’s Positive Black Energy

偉宏的作品，創作來源毫不拘謹，沒有固定的 何微小的人、事、物都是他創作的材料，想玩 ，喜歡圖畫就隨心圖畫，不只專攻一項技能的 都傳遞著正面能量，並讓觀眾們感染歡樂、可 黑色這個給人較為負面的顏色，廖偉宏藝術家 的定義及構思。
’s inspiration comes from the world around him. To him, there’s no fixed medium, ople, things, and emotions are his materials, and everything and anything can be the artist that is consumed and directed by the way he feels at a particular point in en he sculpts. If he feels like drawing then he draws. With multiple talents in ally are no boundaries for him.
anting to “say” something through their work, or perhaps a deeper meaning is who look to learn or understand something far more complex than, for example, the g.
something through his art, the key objective for Mason has always been to convey a udiences in a happy way. He wants to bring about joy and smiles to people’s faces. r sad, or alone, the important task for Mason is to always find the positive within to happiness and to find hope in hopelessness. To Mason, black is multi-faceted and ive one.
雜誌主題為黑色， 使廖偉宏有不一樣的 想法。 一般人給予黑的定義大部分是恐懼跟害怕的，大都是負面的印象。但對廖偉宏而言黑色的 定義有些不同，顏色可以代表有心理學的層面，例如：把一個房間的牆、天花板都漆成黑 色住在裡面一個月，或是漆成淡淡的粉紅色的感覺以及大紅色的感覺都會有所不同，當然 測心理指數就會有不一樣的答案，可能是憂鬱、亢奮、幸福等等。 而黑色對廖偉宏來說很奇怪，感覺不是憂鬱悲傷，也不是黑暗恐懼，反而藏著許多不同的 能量。舉例來說，金礦剛拿到時就是個黑炭，掏金掏過後就是顆昂貴的金塊。因為觀念和 所在位置的不同，看待事情的結果也會不同，很多東西換個角度就能轉成正面的能量，所 以遇到黑的時候，大部分的人可能會有所懼怕糾結。可是廖偉宏卻認為黑色是最穩定的顏 色，且有無限的可能。 白色黑色相聚在一起看似極端，卻是最能發揮、創造的。就像是廖偉宏的作品中，底色白 色但卻在隨便一個地方點上了一點黑色，問每個人看到什麼？所有人的回答都看到黑點， 雖然這幅圖不能表達畫的風采也不是表達出畫的筆法，可是廖偉宏卻一直把這幅畫掛在窗 口。白色代表每個人的優點，但通常我們只看到黑色也就是一個人的缺點，我們都是看到 別人的缺點而加以放大，而大部分忽略的都是優點，所以廖偉宏以這幅畫來提醒自己，多 欣賞別人的優點。
What Black Means to Mason Liao Many people associate black with fear and it often has a negative connotation. However to Mason, there are many definitions to the word black. Black in color psychology can effect one’s mood. For example, if
you lived in a dark black room for a month, versus if you lived in a pink room for a month, it would effect your mood differently. The former would probably make you feel depressed while the latter would prob-
ably make you feel cheery and happy. The color associations with mood goes on and is often used in many personality tests as well.
Black to Mason however, is strangely not associated with anything depressing, nor is it darkness or fear. Black to Mason conceals different types of energy. For example, when a miner discovers a piece of black
coal, it may look like nothing special, but once he chisels away at it, he may discover that expensive gold deposits are hidden within. Different people look at things differently because they have different beliefs or life experiences. Many things, if you look at it from a different angle, can have very different results.
Bad can be good and good can be bad. Many people may be fearful of black, but to Mason he believes that black is the most stable color there is; black to him embodies infinite possibilities.
White and black may seem like color extremes, but it is actually the most versatile. Just like Mason’s work, where he places a single fly (looks like a black dot from far away) on a white canvas. He asks everyone
what they see in the picture, and everybody points out a black dot. This piece of work to Mason isn’t any-
thing magnificent but it does point out a common human flaw. The white canvas symbolizes a person’s positive attributes, and the black dot stands for his/her negative attributes. Most people only see the flaw and
magnifies it, rather than seeing all the positive things that’s around it. To Mason, this piece is so important to him that he hangs it right in the front of his workshop, to remind himself, to always appreciate one’s positive rather than their negative.
靈感像是藝術家寶藏一樣，有時快有時慢， 但對廖偉宏來說並不是想抓就抓的到，而是 生活給你的瞬間感動
在沒有靈感的時候，廖偉宏就會四處走走看看, 觀察生活中美麗細小 的事物，而靈感來時就像習武之人，被打通了任督二脈，不需要很長 的時間就能創作出自己滿意的作品，就像是攝影需要的是一個畫面、 色彩、角度連成的感動。 任何顏料、素材甚至是一個呼吸都能成為作品的創作來源。吃飯時任 何國家的料理都能讓人接受，那為什麼在創作時，卻只能用單一的方 式、模式去創作呢？像是小朋友，你要他玩一樣的玩具時，他卻能利 用自己的想像力讓同一個玩具有不同的玩法，沒有受限於玩具本身的 限制。創作也是如此不需要局限於某方面，畢卡索曾說：「要是沒有 童心，就不配當個藝術家。」這句話一直在心中成為廖偉宏創作時的 目標，和小孩一樣將同樣的東西賦予它新的生命。 做任何作品時都以快樂方式面對，如果心情不悅時會停下手邊的動 作，把不愉快的事情全部寫下來，去做能讓自己覺得快樂的事情。 就好比在攝影棚裡拍攝的過程，攝影師心情不好或是Model身體不舒 服，任何一點不愉快，拍出來的作品感覺就缺少了些什麼，連自己都 不會感動的作品要如何感動觀眾？像周杰倫之所以受到大家的喜愛， 就是因為他的創作讓大家產生了共鳴，而攝影師用二分之一秒的快門 拍出美好的構圖，就好像是一個工匠跟一個室內設計師的差別。

Inspiration is like an artists’ treasure. It never comes when you are looking, but rather it is found in an instant, when life presents you with an amazing, emotional moment. When Mason is faced with artist’s block, he often finds himself wandering the
streets and observing all the little things in life. These little things are like acu-
puncture needles that set loose all the tense veins in his body, and gets his blood
flowing again. He compares it to photographers, and their need for a specific shot, certain lighting, and a certain angle to create an amazing captured moment.
For Mason, any color and any type of material, can become inspiration for a
piece of work. When we eat we can usually accept different ethnic cuisines. Then
why do we limit ourselves to a certain type of creation, when we are innately able to accept and do different things? Just like how children use their imagination to
find millions of different ways to play with the same toy, art to Mason is the same thing. Art should not be restricted in any way or bound to any specific technique.
Picasso once said, “every child is an artist; the problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up”. To Mason, this couldn’t be more true.
Mason usually refuses to work when he is feeling upset or frustrated. Just like how a photographer’s bad mood can affect the performance of the model (or the entire atmosphere of the photo shoot), the artist’s mood can very much affect the type of work he produces. To Mason, when he is feeling down or depressed, he is unable to produce anything positive. He feels that if his work can’t inspire himself, then how would it inspire anyone else? Jay Chou is so admired by everyone because
his songs resonate with audiences; photographers use half a second to press the
shutter at the right moment to capture the perfect picture. Every craftsman has to perfect their craft in their own way. To Mason, that is the important difference between an amateur and a master.
這一幅雪茄畫，已經賣出，廖偉宏因為很喜歡再拿回 來工作室展。這幅畫有兩邊不同的感受，簡單來說就 是一幅動態的作品合成的。圖畫中是用兩顆眼睛來詮 釋不同的感受，一隻眼睛是準備要抽雪茄的部份，另 外一隻眼睛是抽完雪茄，發現原來這支雪茄這麼棒。 因為廖偉宏本身有在抽雪茄，靈感一來，他在短短的 幾分鐘就立刻畫出來這幅作品。 廖偉宏說，因為之前有一個十五分鐘的演講，可以利 用一些時間，一邊跟別人對話的時候一邊將其對話內 容、感受用一幅畫呈現出來，之後就決定再把它變成 立體的雕塑。而雕塑給他一個簡單著註解，「雕」是 減法、「塑」是加法，這樣加加減減就是個雕塑，以 立體跟雕塑做結合。 This cigar piece has already been sold, but Mason loved
it so much that he asked for it back for a while to display in his workshop. This piece has two separate elements to
it. The two eyes are meant to explain two different moods. It portrays the before and after sensations of smoking
a cigar. Mason is a fan of cigars and so the inspiration came quickly for him.
This sculpture is of Mason’s late grandmother who was interestingly one of the first founding member’s of Tzu
Chi. The inspiration came to him during a fifteen minute
presentation he had to do. To sculpt in Chinese means to chisel and to mold. To him this addition and subtraction
of materials depicts the fundamental essence of sculpture perfectly.
