「羊毛氈不完全是純粹的工藝，也不完全是純粹的藝術，而是介於兩者之間的一個平衡點。」
"Wool felt is not purely craftsmanship, nor purely art; it strikes a balance between the two."
在精進技術的過程中，王荷瑄不僅深入閱讀昆蟲百科，還將這些知識轉化為創作的 養分，賦予作品更為細緻的生命力。她對昆蟲形態、結構以及它們獨特特徵的理 解，使她能夠在羊毛氈的創作中突破原有的界限，將技術與自然的美學完美結合。 這些昆蟲標本中的細節，如翅膀的結構、觸角的微小變化，都能看出她在細緻觀察 後，如何將這些知識融入創作中。 王荷瑄也提到，昆蟲的光澤感在羊毛氈創作中難以呈現，這一技術挑戰讓她不畏艱 難，反而積極探索新的表現方法。她結合了刺繡與珠飾等技法，為作品增添了更多 層次與質感。這樣的跨域跨實驗，成功使她的作品得以突破。她強調，工藝不應僅 限於技術層面，而應該讓工藝與藝術之間形成流動，這樣才能突破界限，激發更多 的感動與對話。
In refining her technique, Wang Ho-Hsuan not only delved into entomology but also transformed this knowledge into her creations, giving the works more detailed life. Her understanding of insect morphology, structure, and unique features enables her to break through existing boundaries in wool felt creation, perfectly combining technique with the aesthetics of nature. The details in these insect specimens, such as wing structures and small changes in antennae, show how she incorporates her observations and knowledge into the work.
Wang noted that capturing the glossiness of insects in wool felt posed a technical challenge, prompting her to explore new expressive methods. By incorporating embroidery and beadwork, she added depth and texture to her work. This interdisciplinary approach has pushed the boundaries of her creations. She believes craftsmanship should transcend technicality, fostering a flow between craft and art to ignite deeper emotions and dialogue.

羊毛氈藝術家王荷瑄，從小在田野間遊玩，與昆蟲和植物為伴，這些自然元素成為她生命不可或缺的創作養分。因此在她的作品可以看到動物、昆蟲甚至是高山景色，都能在她手中呈現細緻又溫潤的樣貌。 王荷瑄擅長利用羊毛氈技術，將各種動植物栩栩如生地呈現，從大型動物的狩獵頭到精緻的昆蟲標本，每一 件作品都展現她對細節的追求與熱愛。王荷瑄的作品不僅表現自然之美，也帶有一份溫柔的情感，她希望遠 離傳統標本的冰冷感，讓人感受到生命的多元面向。近期，她將羊毛氈昆蟲標本拍攝成圖鑑，編輯成一本作 品集《昆蟲圖鑑:羊毛氈創作輯》，企圖運用這種方式，讓羊毛氈或是昆蟲的愛好者，都能細細品嘗其中的況味。
Felt artist Ho-Hsuan Wang grew up playing in the fields, surrounded by insects and plants. These natural elements have become an essential source of inspiration for her creative work. Her pieces often depict animals, insects, and even mountain landscapes, all rendered with intricate detail and a warm, delicate touch.
Ho-Hsuan Wang excels in using wool felting techniques to bring various flora and fauna to life. From large-scale animal hunting trophies to intricate insect specimens, each creation reflects her keen eyes for detail and deep passion for her craft. Her works not only highlight the beauty of nature but also evoke a subtle emotional resonance. Rather than presenting cold, clinical specimens, she seeks to offer a more diverse and emotionally rich perspective on life. In her latest endeavor, she has photographed her wool-felt insect specimens and compiled them into a catalog Insects Illustrated Book / Wool Felt Collection, creating a published collection of her work. Through this project, she hopes to provide wool-felting enthusiasts and insect lovers alike with the opportunity to appreciate her art in a new and intimate way.
