《牛仔不在家》是吳衍震在美國聖塔菲藝術中心的駐村創作成果。延續了吳衍震在台灣十年「我們在此相遇」駐點計畫，創作者用移動的形式探索人與環境萬物的依存關係。以人類學、生態學、美學的範疇，關注人類當下的生活處境，樹木、岩石、動物、雲層、星星各自發光，廣大的宇宙構成了魔幻的神話元素。
本書集結了三個月的駐村生活體驗，除了每天的隨興塗鴉草圖，還有英文短詩、日記書寫、立體雕塑、繪畫作品、攝影…等。
“Cowboy Is Not Home” is the result of Wu Yen-Cheng’s residency at the Santa Fe Art Institute in the United States. Extending his decade-long “Here is where we meet” project across Taiwan, Wu explores the interdependent relationship between humans and nature through movement and displacement. Drawing from anthropology, ecology, and aesthetics, he reflects on the human condition, where trees, rocks, animals, clouds, and stars emit their own light — forming elements of a vast, mythic universe.
This book compiles three months of residency experiences, blending spontaneous daily sketches, short English poems, diary entries, sculptures, paintings, and photography, capturing the immersive creative process of life in the American Southwest.
