Xinchen Li
Xinchen Li is a jewellery artist and sculptor from China, currently based in the United States. Evolving from small-scale wearables to immersive installations, her work navigates memory, migration, and cultural identity. She has exhibited internationally at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York and Munich Jewellery Week. Her accolades include the Women's Jewelry Association June Herman Scholarship, The ALL Prize, and winning the Mixed Media Category at the 38th Materials: Hard + Soft International Contemporary Craft Competition. Her work is featured in Vogue China, Create! Magazine, and the Jewelry and Metalsmithing Survey.
My project features both sculptural installations and contemporary jewellery made with Polylactic Acid. Using a 3D printing pen, I create life-sized furniture and freeform body adornments that appear transparent and weightless. Each piece is constructed line by line, revealing the physical trace of time, gesture, and care. These works explore memory, displacement, and the invisible labor of making. Whether worn or suspended in space, they invite viewers to engage with absence, emotion, and the quiet stories held within material and form.
