Yue is a jewellery designer and maker who graduated from Birmingham City University, School of Jewellery. Her work was exhibited in various countries, eg. London, Barcelona, Beijing… Yue is now based in Shanghai, China. She continues her journey as a jewellery designer and gained a further perspective in the culture where raises her. Her work often uses the action of hidden – in reference to the connotation of beauty and the implicit expression.
Statement
I knew when I was very young that art will be my language to express my thoughts. After studying in the School of Jewellery, Birmingham, I chose jewellery to mediate between me and the others. Being an artist means that there will be a constant dialogue with myself, reflecting my struggling and pain to the artwork.Being born and raised in the most metropolitan city, I am deeply influenced by my culture. Throughout my work, Isolation is central. Whether it is caused by the overwhelming dependency on smartphones; or the disability to admit my true feelings, it will become my signature in my practices.
