"Form and Formed” ran through June 9, 2007 and featured ceramic and installation work by Suk Jin Choi and work by architect Yu-Chih Hsiao.
Suk Jin Choi’s work is concerned with theory and tracing of time. Through a delicate, yet crucial blend between traditional Korean surfacing methods and contemporary objects, she creates ceramic sculptures that talk about the passing of time and space.
Yu-Chih Hsiao has developed his varied interests both separately and simultaneously for more than ten years through the fields of design, architecture and fine art. Recently he has been investigating how to use technology, materiality, pattern, structure and architectural tectonics, to weave his multi-directional process into contemporary social content.
Choi received her BFA and MFA degrees in Ceramics at Ewha Woman’s University in Seoul, Korea. She came to America in 2003 to teach traditional Korean Ceramics Surface Decoration at Virginia Commonwealth University. Choi has had eight solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions. She is a recipient of various awards including Special Awards of Seoul Contemporary Ceramic Arts Competitions in Korea. She taught several workshops and lectures on traditional Korean Ceramics Surface Decoration and has written many articles for The Korea Times and Ceramic Art Monthly in Korea. Currently, she is completing her second MFA degree in Ceramics at Cranbrook Academy of Art.
Born in Taipei, Hsiao is currently completing his Master of Architecture degree at Cranbrook Academy of Art. He received his BFA in Interior Space Design from Shih-Chien University, Taipei in 1998 as well as his Diploma of Photography and Printing from the World College of Journalism and Communication, Taipei in 1994.
