未竟之河許芝綺創作個展
《未竟之河：許芝綺創作個展》
如果生命，註定是一場瑰麗的冒險，一條河，就不會只是筆直地奔流大海。藝術家許芝綺將創作視為與生命平行推進的旅程，如同一條無法預測的河流——不疾不徐地蜿蜒、繞行，時而潺潺、時而潰堤，卻始終向前。她從土的延展性出發，讓作品在翻轉與打磨之間歷練成形，細緻雕琢出光影與空間的流動感，也映照她在脆弱與堅定之間持續行進的生命態度。
「白是包容的。如同生命本身，不完美，也毋需完美。」她長年以白色為作品基調，並於琢磨與保留之間不斷權衡，一方面以大量拋光與打磨，去除情感與時間的痕跡，只為捕捉最純粹細膩的光影；另一方面，亦允許某些無法完全掌控的微小起伏與曲線自然浮現，成為時間流經的證據，讓光影的流動、曲線的遞進，都成為生命軌跡的具象映現。
看似無意的轉折，都是選擇之後的堆疊；無法預測的細節，正如生命的蜿蜒本質。許芝綺回望自身創作與人生歷程，重新理解每次尚未完成的嘗試、失落與等待，皆是河流轉向的必要彎道、對真實自我的承接與回應，藉由這條「河」，亦期待引導觀者在自身生命中那些尚未抵達的段落裡，找到共鳴與安放之處。
Unfinished Meander
If life is destined to be a magnificent adventure, then a river can never simply run straight to the sea. In Unfinished Meander, artist Chih Chi Hsu envisions creation as a journey that runs parallel to life—a winding, unpredictable current that meanders, detours, at times gently ripples, at others bursts its banks, yet always moves forward. Beginning with the pliability of clay, she tempers each piece through cycles of inversion and refinement, carefully sculpting a dialogue between light, form, and space. This ongoing process mirrors Hsu’s own navigation between vulnerability and resolve, reflecting a quiet but persistent momentum through life’s shifting terrain.
“White is inclusive—like life itself: imperfect, and needing no perfection.” For years, Hsu has worked almost exclusively in white, balancing between meticulous refinement and deliberate retention. Through extensive polishing, she removes traces of time and emotion, allowing the most delicate light and shadow to emerge; yet she also permits subtle irregularities to remain—tiny topographies that mark the passage of time. To Hsu, each curve and gradation of light is a tangible echo of life’s path.
The seemingly incidental turns are in fact accumulations of choice, just as life unfolds in loops, never linear, never repeated. By looking back at her own evolving practice and personal journey, Hsu reframes each unfinished attempt, each pause and setback, as essential bends in the river—a reckoning with the self, an ongoing response to what remains unresolved. This river does not promise arrival. Instead, it offers a space for viewers to encounter the unwritten segments of their own lives, and to find resonance and rest within the stillness of the current.

畢業於國立台南藝術大學應用藝術研究所，以陶為主要媒材，擅長透過曲線與空間，構築兼具詩意與秩序的造形語言，營造能容納光影流動的場域。作品多以沉靜的形式回應生命的多重面向，藉由創作有距離地介入現實，試圖在虛實之間重新丈量存在、凝視本質。
曾多次參與國際駐村與展覽計畫，作品獲多項國際獎項肯定，如台灣國際陶藝雙年展銀獎、台北陶藝獎首獎，入選韓國京畿世界陶藝雙年展、義大利法恩札國際陶瓷藝術競賽等。作品獲國立台灣美術館、澳洲白兔美術館、德國Römhild城堡博物館等國內外公私機構典藏，展現創作深度與跨域能量.
Chih Chi Hsu
Chih Chi Hsu holds an MFA from the Graduate Institute of Applied Arts at Tainan National University of the Arts. Working primarily in ceramics, she explores the expressive potential of curves and spatial rhythm to construct forms that are both poetic and precise. Her practice creates quiet, light-filled spaces that reflect on the layered dimensions of life. Through a deliberately distanced engagement with reality, she navigates the space between the tangible and the intangible, continually remeasuring presence and essence.
Hsu has participated in numerous international residencies and exhibitions. Her work has received multiple accolades, including the Silver Award at the Taiwan Ceramics Biennale and First Prize at the Taipei Ceramics Awards, and has been selected for major events such as the Gyeonggi International Ceramic Biennale in Korea and the 57th Faenza Prize in Italy. Her works are held in both public and private collections, including the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, the White Rabbit Gallery in Australia, and Römhild Schloss Glucksburg in Germany, reflecting both the depth and reach of her artistic practice.
