Yu-Fang Chi is a Taiwan-born, Australian artist working within textile, silversmithing, sculpture, and spacial installation across Asia, Australia, and Europe. Through various methods of exploring line and form – via traditional craft techniques, wire, and textile installation, as well the use of lighting and shadow – Chi challenges the way weaving to operate and be presented. Her work uses processes of repetition, ephemerality and the interplay of light and shadow to open up discussions around body, environment and contemporary pressing topics. Chi has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally. Her work is held in the collections of Gold Museum in Taiwan, Korea International Craft Biennale, and Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
