For all his innovative forms, he was still basically working with containers. As he moved into the 1980s, however, he abandoned this approach and began making totally freeform pieces. Notable works from this period include the coiled "Moon Halo," the starkly erect "Silence," and the steep-sloped "Mountains and River." All of these works were done in an abstract expressionist style.
八○年代以後，他將瓶罐缸甕的造型完全摧毀，直接以陶板創作，將之時而捲曲如巨浪拍岸，時而蜷捲如《月環》，時而豎立如僧侶之《靜心》，又倏然傾瀉如《山高流水》，由表現造型進入「抽象造型」的陶藝創作。
