WAN LIN CHANG

Wan Lin Chang is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the fluid relationships between text, memory, identity, humanistic spaces, and nature. With a Master’s degree in Interior and Spatial Design from Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London, and additional studies in book structure design at the London College of Communication, her practice reflects a balance of conceptual depth and minimalist expression. Through elements collected from everyday life, she transforms painting, installation, sculpture, and mixed-media art into poetic forms.

Her work investigates the deconstruction and reconstruction of materials, exploring the connections between seemingly ordinary elements.

In her series Invisible Cities, inspired by Italo Calvino’s literary work, she interprets the recurring motif of the number “three” and its multiples through intricate book sculptures.The Mediation engages in a visual dialogue with Eastern and Western art history, collecting and reinterpreting natural textures. In Current, she stitches natural landscapes into fabric, blending the physicality of textiles with the fluidity of organic forms. Reading Between the Lines explores the fluid boundaries between nature and culture, shaped by individual experiences and perceptions. Inspired by architectural forms nestled in mountains and the shifting edges where ridges meet the sky, this series captures the intangible, ever-changing spaces that exist between the familiar and the abstract.Her ongoing project Me and the Leftovers repurposes leftover clay into sculptures, emphasising sustainability and the creative potential of discarded materials.

As an artist balancing experimentation and conceptualisation, Wan Lin Chang’s work is frequently exhibited internationally, engaging in comprehensive discussions on the relationship between space, memory, and time. Her art invites the observer to recognise the boundaries between reality and imagination through experiences of personal and collective consciousness.
