Yu-Fang Chi is a Taiwan-born jewellery artist, currently works and lives in Melbourne, Australia.
Her current research project investigates the concept of femininity in jewellery and objects and its cultural connotations. Based on the theories of gender study, Yu-Fang introspects the processes of creation and the position of female body. Her practice involves repetitive fibre-related techniques using synthetic fibre which can be connected to traditional domestic art processes.
Yu-Fang works across different facets of jewellery practice and collaborates with diverse artistic fields. Her recent curatorial project assembles jewellery narratives with the potential to bring subjective encounters into wider social assignations.
Her artwork has been exhibited in international institutions and platforms, such as Talente 2008 and Schmuck 2009 in Germany, Cheongju International Craft Competition in Korea, and exhibitions in Belgium, China, France, Japan, Poland, Norway, The Netherlands, India, and Estonia.
