ARTIST STATEMENT
YU FANG CHI
The Inner Crease series explores the ambiguity between surfaces and layers of skin. It questions the relationship between the body and the jewellery.
The work responds to the qualities of an ‘alternative skin’, underlying the tension and gesture of the real body. The filamentary structure evokes the texture of skin. The outside of the fictional body-like object is plump and fleshy, while hollow and dark inside. It seems that the surface is flexible and soft, but as a result of the electroforming, the structure of the object is extremely light, hard and brittle as a shell.
