・人工與自然的關係
動物與建築結合的這個系列，林安常以”異象承載”這個饒口的詞作為這一系列的命名，在這系列中探討的是土地與建物、人工與自然的關係，建築物象徵人工構築在象徵土地的動物上，而建築物代表著某時某地的歷史與在這所發生過的事，因為台灣這片土地在短短的幾百年中經歷過許多不同文化的洗禮，這樣的背景讓他想把歷史的一角放進自己的創作中。
在這樣的想法中，動物扮演的角色代表著承載建築與文明、文化的土地；在形式上，以更多感性的刀法去呈現出土地柔軟且多變的面貌，相較於建築多以機械處理的銳利線條，在林安常的創作語彙中，常以相對的表現方法或形式來處理作品所呈現的畫面，在這系列中也不例外，利用建築與動物、人為與自然、理性與感性，作為畫面與內容的相對性。
・木材榫接及材質
鑲嵌與榫接在這一系列中有著直接且重要的地位，由於建物築於土地之上，鑲嵌在這個源由中就變得相當直接的轉化，用來與之相做對應，並在形式上處理出相對性，在比較後面完成的作品中，對於木材質鑲嵌與榫接的運用更大於先前的創作，目的是為了讓木材的材質性與技巧能更加凸顯，藉此敘述木材之於創作的重要性。
在這一系列的創作中，從注重圖像所呈現出的語彙一直到近期林安常將重點放在材質的處理與表現上，作品內容與形式所造成畫面上的差異性一直是他所關注的焦點，也透過不同的關於凸顯木材質的技法，讓一些傳統常使用的方法能縮小在藝術家的作品中，讓畫面能更加接近他所關心的事物，也透過自身的創作反省這片土地上所乘載過的記憶與痕跡。
・The relationship between human and nature
This series of animals and architecture, Lin An Chan uses the word “image bearing” as the name of this series. In this series, the relationship between land and building, labor and nature is discussed. Built on animals that symbolize the land, and the buildings represent the history of a certain place and what happened here, because the land of Taiwan has experienced many different cultural baptisms in just a few hundred years. The background made him want to put a corner of history into his creation.
In such an idea, the role played by the animal represents the land that carries the architecture and civilization and culture. In terms of form, the more sensible knife method is used to present the soft and changeable face of the land. The sharp lines of processing, in Lin An Chan's creative vocabulary, often deal with the images presented by the works in relative expressions or forms, in this series is no exception, using architecture and animals, human and nature, reason and sensibility as the relative of the picture and the content.
・Wood’s rabbet and material
Mosaic and rabbet have a direct and important position in this series. Since the building is built on the land, the mosaic becomes a fairly direct transformation in this source, which is used to correspond to it and formally dealing with relativity, in the work done after the comparison, the use of wood inlay and splicing is more than the previous creation, in order to make the material and skill of the wood more prominent to explains the importance of wood for creation.
In this series of works, from focusing on the vocabulary presented by the image until recently, Lin An Chang focused on the processing and performance of materials. The difference in the content caused by the content and form the work has always been his concern. Focus, through different techniques for highlighting wood quality, allows some traditional methods to be used in the artist's work, to make the picture closer to the things he cares about, and to reflect on the land through his own creation. The memories and traces that have been carried.
