Cindy Cheng I-Hsin

Born in Taiwan and raised in Penang, Malaysia, Cindy Cheng I-Hsin makes text, performances, sculptures, and installations inspired by the concept and technique of printmaking. Her works investigate her shifting surroundings, scrutinising physical and metaphorical print marks of everyday activity. Her practice concerning reflections on identity and cultural imprints pictures an alternative way of understanding humanity in which she sees human-being as print-making. Cheng’s recent works delve into aspects of Eastern traditions, in particular, the concept of ‘shentigan’ and the pictographic written Chinese characters.
