<p><strong><em>Falling Together in Time</em> </strong><br><strong>2024-2025 </strong><br><strong>apprx. 248 x 157 x 10 cm; apprx. 100 x 100 x 10 cm </strong><br><strong>Reclaimed paper from old books </strong></p>
<p>Suspended in the air, Jiieh G Hur&rsquo;s expansive installation blurs the boundary between material and metaphysical worlds. Engaging with the rich history of her materials and contemporary sculptural practices, her delicate works transform discarded materials into forms that embody time, memory, and resilience. Working with paper, wood, and natural pigments, Hur reconfigures the familiar into something ephemeral yet enduring, bridging traditional craft techniques with conceptual approaches to materiality. Her process begins with sound and movement&mdash;intangible experiences abstracted into tactile compositions. Discarded books, newspapers, and magazines are shredded, boiled, and reconstituted into paper pulp, their histories embedded in their shifting textures and hues. Herbs such as mugwort and rosemary are infused into the material, adding sensory depth and symbolic resonance. Each element exists in a state of tension&mdash;between fragility and strength, permanence and impermanence. Trained in sculpture and ceramics, Hur&rsquo;s practice reflects contemporary art&rsquo;s engagement with impermanence and transformation. The traditions of paper making&mdash;once integral to books, architecture, and everyday objects&mdash;are extended into a contemporary dialogue about sustainability and memory. Her suspended forms recall the delicacy of paper crafts while embracing an open-ended, sculptural approach that invites movement and change. Through labour-intensive techniques, Hur transforms what is often discarded into something poetic, inviting viewers to consider materiality as a vessel for memory, adaptation, and renewal.</p>

<p>許智慧的大型懸掛裝置模糊了物質世界與形而上世界之間的界限。她的作品將材料的豐富歷史與當代雕塑實踐的結合，將廢棄材料轉化為體現時間、記憶和韌性的形態。藝術家運用紙、木材和天然顏料，將熟悉的事物重構為既短暫又持久的形態，將傳統工藝技術與處理物質的概念性方法結合。她的創作始於聲音與動作&mdash;&mdash;將無形經驗提取為有質感的構圖。廢棄的書籍、報紙和雜誌被粉碎、煮沸，重新製成紙漿，將它們的歷史融入變化中的質地和色調中。材料中也注入艾草和迷迭香等草藥，增添感官深度與象徵意義。每個元素都存在於脆弱與力量、永恆與瞬逝之間的張力狀態。許智慧曾受雕塑和陶藝訓練，其創作實踐反映了當代藝術對無常與變化的探討。紙作曾經是書籍、建築和日常物品不可或缺的部分，現在，這個傳統延伸至關於可持續性與記憶的當代對話。她的懸掛裝置令人想起紙藝的精緻，同時採取開放式的雕塑手法，引發動態與變化。通過需要密集勞動的技術，許智慧將日常被丟棄的物品轉化為詩意的藝術，邀請觀眾思考物質性作為記憶、適應和延續的載體。</p>
