Great Britain
Ms Dian Chen graduated from MA Jewellery Design in Central Saint Martins UAL, and now working as an independent jewellery artist in London. She uses conceptual jewellery and other body-linked objects as her primary media to explore the role of jewellery in the body-outside dynamic world relationship. Materializing bold imaginations, Chen gives a thoughtful debate about the topics of posthumanism, feminism, LGBTQ movements, identity and gender equality. In 2017, She established her own brand – Ddesign in a vision of combining conceptual jewellery with business publicity. In 2019, Her graduation project “Queer Beard & Cyborg Rainbow” was acquired by Central Saint Martins Museum for permanent collection. Access Dian Chen Newsroom

Informed by philosophers like Rosi Braidotti and Donna Haraway, this project utilizes Cyborg and Cyber-punk elements in pop culture to construct this super surreal series. With a flexible adoption of industrial manufactured materials, the pieces in this project is completely constructed by interchangeable parts, that allows the wearers to replace and even remake the jewellery using all those spare "chips and bars". This collection intends to construct a context in which the wearer can experience a fantasy post human future to break the perception traditionally of gender and identity.
