Rewoven Artist: Hui Lin Chuang

On her method, Chuang has commented, "I treat material like another person, a living thing."

Hui Lin Chuang studied plastic arts at the Da Yeh University and the Taipei National University of the Arts in Taiwan, obtaining an MFA. Already, she has had four solo exhibitions in Taiwan and one in Switzerland. She's also participated in several significant group shows in Taiwan and one in Korea. She’s also completed five international residencies throughout Asia and Europe, and in 2013 garnered a Lih-Pao International Sculpture Biennial Award.

Chuang’s sculptures convey delicate webs, dappled sunbeams and frilly coral colonies. Their beauty  is elevated to ethereal heights by the unlikely synthetic  materials the Taiwanese artist employs to create them. And some of her finest recent work will be on display when Rewoven - Innovative Fiber Art opens at the QCC Art Gallery on March 16. Hope you can make it!
