Joyce Chonghui Wu is a Chinese American artist born in Shanghai. Having studied and lived in Europe, China, and the United States, her work explores the sensorial perception of multicultural contexts through multidisciplinary media. Influenced by her background in fashion design, she often uses textiles as a creative medium, transferring subtle observations of everyday life onto fabric and assembling the layered textures of contemporary living through stitching.
Joyce has a habit of hoarding—collecting images, memories, objects, and unfinished works, which she stacks in various corners of her studio. Along the threads of inspiration, she weaves and rewrites these fragments like constructing sentences, telling stories of intimacy, individuality, and visual memory with both restraint and boldness.
b.1994 Shanghai, China.
