Fengyang Jiang, a jewellery artisist. She got her Ba and Ma degree in Jewellery design from Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. Her works focus on her culture background and the culture gap between countries.
Jade is the shadow we shape with our hands, the moon we raise to the sky. It is a prop for ceremonies, a burial implement, a symbol of kingship, and a gentleman's imagery. It is what the culture of an era is like. While the shadow always follows the body, jade always follows people's concepts and lives and changes. For me, jade doesn't have to be whole, complete, indestructible and superior. It is gentle, clear, and cool to the touch. The greenness spreads away and it can dot every part of life. I'd like to see it come to life in a more lighthearted and fun image. So there's the bitten donut, the crisp, the condom. The combination of items that can be found everywhere in our lives is what we have at our fingertips. They are ordinary and vivid, relaxed yet unique. I want jade not to be the moon in the sky, I want it to be the life and times held in my hands.
