動畫創作手記：一個箱子的依存 Notes on Animating the Livelihood (of)in a (Tool-)Box
去年九月，劉清華抵達台灣伴著她的是手提的五公斤的箱子。裡面的翻拍臺是十四天閉關創作的夥伴。Last September, Jess Lau arrived in Taipei with her 5kg tool-box, her only companion in a 14-day quarantine retreat. Together, they completed a new stop-motion animation piece.
Jess Lau / 藉水而流的家族故事 Family stories along the flow
眼前的一切像多年的堆積，與之共存的是看不見的已被拆毀的家族過去的小節的餘韻。說到家族，也不是家國大族的堂煌，而是一張具體的網，連接、輸送、維繫，有個物理的據點。據點藝術家劉清華的「田野」訪談，拖出了「生存」的問題。如何活？我們如何從過去走到當下？過去的可以延伸下去，因為我們記得，而且還（用方法）記住。A community art project opens the door to a street of rich family stories in To Kwa Wan (Kowloon) for FP artist Jess Lau, thus also an old family story she has not dared to touch until now. Unlike tycoon stories of a growing empire, ordinary family stories are full of “holes” irreparable yet holding together those who refuse to forget.

Jess Lau / Life as ‘ignis fatuus’: the voyage with Tamas Waliczky from Ancient Egypt to Venice Biennale 現實中的虛幻：Tamas Waliczky 帶我從古埃及到他的威尼斯雙年展
「據點。句點」成員劉清華與動畫藝術家老師的近距互動，是一生的創作態度的啟發。FPC member Jess Lau’s close encounter with animation professor Tamas Waliczky induces life-long commitment to the question of what it means to be an artist.
六顆子彈 6 Bullets, an exchange
FPC dialogues… Jess Lau wrote a poem and shared it with Linda Lai, who wrote a poem in response. The exchange develops into that of images. 劉清華隨心寫了一首詩，分享了給黎肖嫻。黎回了另一首詩。後來這個對話由文字推至圖像。
Jess Lau / 京都駐留筆記《步行電影院：飛翔的氣球》”Cinema of Walking: Airship” — notes on artist’s residency in Kyoto
In January 2020, FP artist Jess Lau took residency in Kyoto; in the three months she spent there, she finally found the time and space to realize a much awaited work on a river, and made The Cinema of Walking: Airship on the Kamo River, to her, a unique glimpse of freedom. 2020年1月 Jess 到京都駐留三個月，有機會到訪鴨川，突然可以做關於河川的作品，《步行電影院：飛翔的氣球》遠距離一口氣完成拍攝，劉清華看著路人一步一步踏過跳石，片刻看到自由的模樣。…

Jess Lau / 玩具展 – 下雨天的城堡 A Castle for the Rainy Days: toy show “Toy as Medium”
FP member Kelvin Lam’s “castle on rainy days” and Jess Lau’s “pirates’ boat,” “extreme environments” and “ET arriving” mark many HK children’s fantasy play with space or the lack of it. To reproduce these childhood experiences in FP WIP opening 20 Nov 2016, what are they going to show us?
