Arts Thread

I am a jewelry and fashion accessory designer, wearable sculptor, and installation artist, originally from China and currently based in the United States. I began my academic journey by majoring in Nonmetallic Inorganic Material Engineering at the University of Science and Technology Beijing. However, after two and a half years of studying Material Engineering, I transitioned to Jewelry and Metal Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2017. Presently, I am exploring wearable sculpture and installation art while pursuing a master's degree in Body Fashion and Garment at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. With a diverse background spanning Material Engineering, Jewelry, and Metalsmithing, my artistic practice revolves around creating sculptures of various scales that merge art, design, engineering, and fashion through the innovative use of mixed materials. Geometry holds a central role in my work; I abstractly render and transform thoughts geometrically. I specialize in integrating modeling programs and 3D printing techniques into my artistic endeavors. My creative process is deeply rooted in my reactions, emotions, and expectations.
