Felicia Li is a contemporary art jewelry designer, She has been exploring the innovation direction in which contemporary art jewelry design and the traditional Chinese crafts are integrated. She formally established the Vonmo personal studio in 2016.
Statement
My works are combined with traditional Chinese crafts. Instead of dealing with the relations between traditional crafts and contemporary art jewelry irrationally, I gradually gained my understanding of the tradition in the long material test process. Perhaps only when I forget about the boundaries of nationalities, complicated crafts and the concept of contemporary art, and then feel all over again will my thinking and understanding be changed and will the delusive rules and regulations be excluded.The Heart Laurel Series
The reason why I designed The Heart Laurel series was that I was not satisfied with only studying the filigree craft of the Eight Great Crafts of Beijing. Driven by the dissatisfaction, I visited the national minorities located deep in the mountains in southwest China for multiple times and dug up the existence state of the folk traditional filigree craft and the ancient horse-tail-hair embroidery (an embroidery craft with cotton threads twined around horse-tail-hair). Whether court or folk, crafts always appeal to people with their rawness, restraint and prudence. However, their future is worrying.
The Runaway Water Sprite Series
The Runaway Water Sprite series was designed because I hoped that art jewelry could have a memory ability so that the spiritual connection between it and the body would always exist. My childhood memories are mostly the dreams I had and the magical illusions I saw, and those supernatural phenomena might have been derived from the shadow puppet shows and Shehuo (traditional festivities) in my hometown, which were rather primitive and filled with many amazing legends. Even when I was grown up, those memories were still vivid in my mind; while, as I grow older and wiser, I increasingly doubt the truth of what I saw in the past, and those memories begin to fade. So, I need to find a way to record them, and thus I’ve created this set of works.
