邱懷萱Chiu Huai-Hsuan（1987, Taiwan）
1987生於臺灣臺北。畢業於國立台灣藝術大學雕塑學系研究所，目前居住在臺北。邱懷萱的作品以多種不同種類的木材製作微型課桌椅、書本和書櫃，並結合動力裝置來使這些物件能夠「動起來」。透過動力裝置來控制物件的同時，物件的碰撞和轉換過程中產生了控制和不可控制之間的相互作用，不斷循環。近年來，邱懷萱更關注於媒材本身，她作品中的櫃體和書本保留了木材本身的自然紋理和色彩，展現了樹木所留下的時間痕跡。這些痕跡在藝術家精心的切割、拼接、鑲嵌、膠合和打磨之前被仔細地保留並呈現在微型書、抽屜和櫃體中。邱懷萱以微型的狀態展現出宏觀的視野，述說了生命運行的軌跡。她的創作不僅僅是一座書牆，而是一座森林。
過去作品曾獲2020年「ONE ART TAIPEI新賞獎」；2018年「台灣美術新貌獎」與2011年「第十五屆裕隆木雕創新獎校園新銳獎」。重要個展經歷包含：「樹影中的輪廓」，伊日藝術計劃，臺北（2015, 2022）；「隔壁小林家─寄寓書齋」，林本源園邸，新北市（2019）；「微型劇場：筆跡X擦拭X消逝之後」，總爺藝文中心，臺南（2016）。聯展包含：New Memories In Holiday，ArtsideGallery，首爾（2023, 2022）；「零號集錦-承繼」，南畫廊，臺北（2021）及「小動作」。作品也曾獲臺中市港區藝術中心、總爺藝文中心與財高雄文化局等藝術機構典藏。
Chiu Huai-Hsuan was born in 1987 in Taipei, Taiwan. She has an Master's degree in Sculpture Department from Taiwan National University of Arts, and currently resides in Taipei. Her works involve crafting miniature desks, chairs, books, and bookshelves from various types of wood, incorporating kinetic mechanisms to make these objects come to life. Through these kinetic devices, she controls the movement of the objects, leading to a dynamic interplay between control and unpredictability, creating a continuous cycle. In recent years, Chiu Huai-Hsuan has placed a greater emphasis on the inherent qualities of her materials. The cabinets and books in her artworks retain the natural textures and colors of the wood, showcasing the time-traces left by the trees. These traces are carefully preserved and displayed in micro-sized books, drawers, and cabinets, following meticulous cutting, joining, inlaying, bonding, and polishing by the artist herself. Chiu Huai-Hsuan's work presents a macroscopic perspective through its miniature form, narrating the journey of life. Her creations are not just bookshelves but also symbolize a forest.
