Yuan Wen is an interdisciplinary artist who focuses on traditional practices and explores the intersection of material culture and natural forms. Inspired by ancestral roots near the Yangtze River, Wen’s work reflects a deep connection to sustainable living and land cultivation. Through bamboo objects, drawings, and printmaking, her practice and research question the impact of modern industrialization on traditional craftsmanship.
