張皓涵

JHANG Hao-Han

2014年畢業於國立台南藝術大學應用藝術研究所金工與首飾創作組，2017至2018年獲選為新竹市鐵道藝術村駐村藝術家，目前亦為慢學金工實驗室主理人。

她關注環境議題，關心人類濫用化學物質招致人體疾病的現象。試圖在作品裡透過疾病模擬、再現、解構等手法表達人類對於自然進行掠奪、剝削、破壞....等行為，已讓原本的完美平衡失衡，並且招致前所未見的疾病生長於人體，試圖傳達人與自然同屬一體，一切人造物質最終會回到人體自身成為人造疾病。透過將疾病外顯於身，並製作為身體首飾的方式，仿擬想像該物質如何影響人體並於體內生長蔓延的樣態。

新竹市鐵道藝術村提供了寬敞的空間、創作的自由，讓她在駐村期間，得以思考工藝、藝術與自身的關係，嘗試各種與工藝、環境、教學相關的試驗，於此她心存感激。

Jhang received her MFA from the Graduate Institute of Applied Arts, TNNUA in 2014, and was a resident artist at Hsinchu City Art Site of Railway Warehouse in 2017 and 2018. Currently she is the manager of the TAUHÁ Metal Studio.

Jhang follows environmental issues, one of them the illnesses caused by the overuse of chemical substances. In her works, Jhang tries to simulate, recreate, and deconstruct illnesses, hoping to illustrate how the mankind plunder, exploit, and destroy natural environment, which breaks the Earth's balance and invites never-before-seen diseases for humans. She believes Mother Nature and mankind are a unity, and any artificial substances eventually end up in the human body, causing man-made diseases. Her works symbolize the manifestation of diseases, and when worn on the body, we get to imagine how these substances multiply and spread inside our bodies.

Hsinchu City Art Site of Railway Warehouse provides ample space and creative freedom during Jhang's residency, allowing her to ponder the relationship between craft, art, and herself. She is grateful for the opportunity to try various craft techniques and teaching experiments.
