Yuan Yi

Working with paper as both material and metaphor, Yuan Yi explores themes of cultural connection, heritage and exchange. Originally from China, her practice is rooted in a desire to build dialogue between East and West, blending traditional influences with a contemporary sensibility.

Her paper works invite close attention and quiet reflection, using delicacy, repetition and structure to create spaces of conversation and passage. Through this medium, she offers viewers an opportunity to encounter cultural experience as something tactile, intimate and shared.
