Artist Introduction
張婉琳是位跨界藝術家，其作品在探索文本、記憶、身份、城市與自然間的流動。畢業於倫敦藝術大學切爾西藝術學院，室內與空間設計碩士學位，並於倫敦傳播學院修習書籍結構設計。透過日常裡元素的收集，在最極簡裡表達繪畫、裝置、雕塑及多媒材藝術。她善於將空間的演變與記憶的碎片轉譯為詩意的表達。
她的作品在探索材質的解構與重構，探索共同元素的連結。在系列作品《Invisible Cities》中，她從伊塔羅・卡爾維諾的文學作品中汲取靈感，以書本雕塑來詮釋書中所提及數字「三」及其倍數。《The Mediation》透過收集自然肌理，來與東西方藝術史對話。《Current》以織物之經緯線來縫入自然地景，而目前進行中的計劃《Me and the Leftovers》則將剩餘陶土重新塑造成雕塑，聚焦於材料的再利用。
作為一位兼具實驗性與概念性的藝術家，張婉琳的作品經常在國際間展出，深度討論空間、記憶與時間的關係。她的作品邀請觀眾透過個人與集體意識的經驗來重新觀看現實與想像的邊界。

Wan Lin Chang is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the fluid connections between text, memory, identity, urban landscapes, and nature. A graduate of Chelsea College of Arts at the University of the Arts London with a MA degree in Interior and Spatial Design, she also pursued Design Book Structure at the London College of Communication. Her works embrace minimalism, spanning painting, installation, sculpture, and multimedia, drawing inspiration from everyday life. Chang transforms the evolution of spaces and fragmented memories into poetic artistic expressions.
Her art focuses on deconstructing and reconstructing materials, with a recurring theme of linking shared elements. In the series Invisible Cities, inspired by Italo Calvino’s literary work, she interprets the concept of the number "three" and its multiples through cuts and sculptural forms. The Mediation involves capturing natural textures through walking, unveiling images that engage in dialogue with Eastern and Western art histories. Current employs the warp and weft of textiles to stitch together a sequence of landscapes. Her ongoing project, Me and the Leftovers, reimagines leftover clay to build sculptures, addressing issues of material reuse and expressive potential—key concerns in her recent practice.
As an artist with both experimental and conceptual dimensions, Chang has exhibited her work internationally, reflecting a deep exploration of the intersections between space, memory, and time. Her art invites audiences to reconsider the boundaries between reality and imagination through a connection of individual and collective experiences.
