「我彷彿曾經以不同的靈魂來過這裡，這次只是回家。」義大利波隆那插畫展、美國3X3插畫展入選插畫家――阿力金吉兒，出走遠方，獻給廣袤大地的蛻變之作。「宛如孩童遠足時留下的粉色塗鴉，寫生的對象卻又是聖塔菲原始粗獷地貌，這矛盾衝突，就像阿力金吉兒的文字，用她純度極高的童心為我們擦拭所有已被世俗固定的風景。人生任何時候都需要一個興高采烈的導遊――哪怕仍在原地，也似去了遠方。」――孫梓評（作家）「翻看此書，可以想像阿力金吉兒站在廣闊風景前是如何地激動，畫中似乎能夠感受到風與沙子。顏色堆疊如強勁的野草緊緊抓住新墨西哥州的土地，這是大膽又柔軟的一趟壯旅。」――川貝母（插畫家）------------------------------------------------------「我真的要走了。」我們擁抱了一下，我腦海不斷浮現，「這是值得的，我會克服一切的 ！」曾入選「波隆那國際童書原畫展」和「美國3X3當代插畫大賽優選」的插畫家阿力金吉兒，早年曾以「蘇意傑」為筆名，幫袁哲生等知名作家繪製插畫，作品也經常出現在報章副刊。2018年，她遇到了人生與創作上的關卡，茫然無措之際，獲得了人生第一次的駐村機會，2019年底出發前往美國新墨西哥州的聖塔菲，展開改變她視野與風格的三個月駐村時光。從日本機場轉機遇到的風波開始，這三個月帶給她非常豐富而有趣的刺激和養分。和台灣南洋島國截然不同的北美大陸風光、有趣熱情又充滿各國文化的新朋友們，讓作者的筆調出現轉變，不管是在異地或回到家鄉，畫面儼然有了新的氣息。黃橘色的大地、藍綠色的天空，小巧而別出心裁的人與動物，在她筆下鮮活而充滿氣味，呈現與先前創作截然不同的風情。在這本圖文旅記中，阿力金吉兒用樸實真切的短文，以及創作當下既詩意又童趣的英文隨筆，搭配一張張彷彿記憶重現的彩圖――古印第安的部落遺跡、巨大雄偉的峽谷、看不見盡頭的公路、泥土上奔跑的牛群......充滿感情地記敘了這一段新墨西哥州的駐村之旅，構築成獨特的聖塔菲印象。一路上，有風景、有動物、有朋友；有開心、有衝撞、有奇遇。在這廣袤的陌生之地，她找回了創作的熱情與率真的自己。“There is no light in the blue water.I am wearing a Mexican suit with a coloring pen.I am riding a big cat.Ther
