A Girl’s Make Up (Interview with All About Us participant Glady)

As a 16-year-old girl, Glady doesn’t enjoy carrying “pretty” make-up, but rather creating scars and wounds on the face. Glady likes special effect make-up and moving images. She doesn’t really learn from teachers and simply use her mother’s cosmetics to create for fun.

Why Glady is so fascinated by those scary wounds and the extraordinary colour? Perhaps it’s the unspoken enthusiasm driving her to make the art.

作為一個十六歲少女,Glady不愛化「漂亮」的妝,反而愛在臉龐上化上傷疤,皮開肉爛。她喜歡特技化妝,喜歡影像創作,沒有真正的老師,一切只是從心而發,本著好玩、有趣,就拿起媽媽的化妝品隨意試試。我一直覺得,每個喜歡創作的人,大概都有他創作的原點,就是那份當初的熱愛,不涉及什麼天份才華,也與名利金錢無關,就是純粹的喜歡。在訪問中,雖然Glady說自己選擇了這條路,但其實我一直想,到底是Glady選擇了創作,還是創作選擇了Glady?為什麼Glady會對這些嚇人的傷口如此著迷呢?為什麼會這麼鍾情於紅紅黑黑的顏料呢?我不知道,或者Glady自己也說不清,但大概這份難以明言的喜歡,就是每個創作者的本心吧?
