Amy Hsu Tzu Chen

Amy Hsu Tzu Chen specialises in handcrafting vessels using techniques passed down by female artisans—such as basketry, embroidery, patching, and felting—which she reclaims as powerful forms of resistance and storytelling. Her practice intentionally positions these female-related crafts as catalysts for social and cultural change. Through an intuitive process that honours instinct and emotion, Chen creates abstract, metaphorical forms, offering a poetic lens into the collective female psyche—its traumas, dreams, and inner landscapes. She is currently developing interactive haptic and sonic experiences that subvert gender norms, inviting audiences into sensory rituals that challenge and reimagine traditional power dynamics.
