As part of Craft Contemporary 2023 we are presenting:
Soil Clay, by Vivian Qiu
The Soil Clay Project is an ongoing exploration of the artist’s jewellery designs through her experience living and studying in China, Australia and Sweden.
Vivian uses her observational insights and collection of natural materials and common objects to mould into wearable artworks. She incorporates soil, fallen leaves and flowers, grass and rice to act as a binding agent for her work.
She establishes a connection between the wearer to place, time, and culture through materials and the ancient symbolism of oracle bone script.
Artworks from Vivian’s residency in Sweden will be on display.
