Solitude by Jun Xie

Artist list

Jun Xie

The work began with a moment of displacement—viewing the mountains of New Zealand from an airplane window over a decade ago. This experience marked a shift in perception, where vast landscapes became compressed, abstract, and intimately personal. Today, this way of seeing continues to inform Jun Xie’s recent works, developed in Zhangma Village, Shanghai, where she currently lives and works.

Born in China, Jun Xie trained in fashion design at Guangzhou University and later received formal education in contemporary jewellery at Whitireia Polytechnic in New Zealand. Influenced by her experience of living in New Zealand, her practice draws from encounters with natural environments and focuses on translating these impressions into material form.

Through an intuitive and process-led approach, she engages with materials such as metal and found elements, allowing their inherent qualities to guide the making process. Her work seeks to reveal the latent vitality within seemingly inert materials, while reconfiguring overlooked perspectives and condensing large-scale landscapes into wearable forms.
