Hsiu Mei-Yueh (b. 1970, Xihu, Changhua) graduated from the National Taiwan Academy of Arts (now National Taiwan University of Arts) and earned her MFA from the Graduate Institute of Applied Arts at Tainan National University of the Arts. She currently teaches at Tainan University of Technology. Specializing in ceramics, Hsiu has received numerous honors including the Golden Ceramic Award, Taiyang Fine Arts Award, Nanying Art Award, and the New Taipei City Ceramic Award. Her international experience includes artist residencies in Japan, Hawaii, the United States, and Canada, as well as solo and group exhibitions both in Taiwan and abroad.
Having long resided in the mountains, Hsiu frequently draws inspiration from her surroundings. Her works evoke the atmosphere of misty woodlands, allowing viewers to sense the shifting mountain air. Mountain Echo 2020-6b features a winding, hollow form that suggests the undulating contours of mountain landscapes. The piece captures the movement and transformation of natural forces—fog, wind, and air—through space. The surface is covered with reddish ochre slip, with sections painted in sky-blue slip and overlaid with vertically twisted black lines, expressing the ever-flowing vitality that echoes through the mountains.
