Artwork Appreciation
HSU Hsin-Wen is skilled at using everyday items as artistic media in an attempt to initiate dialog between people and the spatial environment. Object & View II is 3 different structural assemblage of old drawers, drift woods, and acrylic boards. The drawers represent the vessels of memory, and initiate a dialog between objects and landscapes. The driftwood is laid out in different arrangements to create unique micro-landscapes. What seems to be close and accessible is actually kept 0.5 centimeters apart by a thin layer of transparent, acrylic plastic, symbolizing the seemingly close yet isolated relationship between people. HSU Hsin-Wen attempts to manifest abstract sensations to recreate the true inner essence of events and objects.
