Hsu’s work goes beyond the limit of “pottery” in terms of material and scale. Based on the concept of “maximum scale and minimum thickness”, Hsu’s work is a cluster of singles and pairs built by physical forces: pushing, pressing, squeezing, pinching, rubbing, and layering. His pieces cycle constantly back and forth between the past and future, the movements juxtaposing the heaviness of the materials with weightless presence. With the combination of light and shadows and reality and deception, the exhibition resembles a poetic release.
