侯純純 Hou Chun-Chun

現任國立臺中科技大學商業設計系所副教授，擔任教職逾二十年，深耕基礎造形學領域的研究與教學實踐。侯純純的創作源於對日常生活痕跡的敏銳觀察，她以寬廣視野捕捉那些易被忽略的細微變化，從雨水在牆面留下的水痕，到咖啡杯在桌面形成的圓環，都成為她創作靈感的泉源。

自2015年廚房意外燒壞鍋具的偶然發現，開啟她對「鹽晶」創作技法的探索之旅。這項獨創技法以海水為媒材，在黑色金屬表面透過加熱蒸發，順應「道法自然」的創作哲學，讓結晶自然形成純白的紋理。她創造性地提出「鹽料」（Saltment）這個複合字詞，源自「鹽」（Salt）與「顏料」（Pigment）的結合，描述以鹽為基底轉化為繪畫顏料的獨特應用方式，展現她對媒材本質的深刻思考。

身為四面環海島國台灣的女兒，侯純純從父親港灣工程的職業背景中汲取海洋情感，將這種取之不盡的創作材料賦予深刻的在地意義。她的創作與生命經驗緊密交織：母親離世十年的思念化為「思親天使」中展翅的天使形象，潛水時與深海生物的相遇重現於「游形幻象」的流動紋理，菲律賓移地研究期間近距離觀察珊瑚群落的震撼，轉化為「珊瑚幻境」的生態詩篇。生活中的每一個片刻、每一次感動，都成為她創作的豐沛養分。

這種介於可控與偶發之間的創作方法，呼應老子「人法地，地法天，天法道，道法自然」的智慧，在看似隨機中展現必然的美學秩序。在人工智慧生成圖像盛行的當代，侯純純選擇回歸最基本的物質探索，以最純粹的物質為始，在科學定律的引導下，讓每一次結晶都成為宇宙秩序的重現，每一幅圖像都是藝術實驗的展演，呈現從意外到意圖之間的造形探索軌跡。

Associate Professor in the Department of Commercial Design at National Taichung University of Science and Technology, Hou Chun-Chun has dedicated over twenty years to fundamental form studies research and teaching. Her creative work stems from keen observation of daily traces—from rain marks on walls to coffee rings on tables—capturing overlooked subtle changes as creative inspiration.

Since accidentally burning cookware in 2015, she began exploring "salt crystallization" techniques. This original method uses seawater as medium, heating and evaporating it on black metal surfaces, following the philosophy of "nature's way" to naturally form pure white crystalline textures. She coined "Saltment"—combining "Salt" and "Pigment"—describing the unique transformation of salt into painting medium.

As a daughter of island Taiwan, she draws oceanic emotions from her father's harbor engineering background, imbuing this inexhaustible material with local significance. Her work interweaves with life experiences: maternal longing becomes angel wings in "Maternal Angel," diving encounters with sea creatures flow into "Dancing Tentacles in Void," and coral observations in the Philippines transform into "Coral Fantasy."

This method between control and chance echoes Laozi's wisdom of following nature's way, revealing aesthetic order within apparent randomness. In an AI-image era, she returns to fundamental material exploration, allowing each crystallization to recreate cosmic order and each image to exhibit artistic experimentation—presenting the trajectory from accident to intention.
