Rachel Ruiyi Wang

Bishopsland Fellow 2024-2025

Ruiyi Wang is a Shanghainese artist and maker based in London. Her artistic practice is characterised by innovation, humour, and a profound fascination with everyday objects. Motivated by a persistent interest in applied art, Ruiyi completed her BA in Jewellery Design at Central Saint Martins and her MA in Jewellery and Metal at the Royal College of Art.

Throughout her projects, she has consistently drawn inspiration from daily objects, which serve as a major source of creativity for her. Through her experiences in jewellery making and silversmithing, she has developed a unique approach to conveying her observations of the world around her. Since her works are rooted in ordinary daily life, she aims to establish a strong connection between the audience and her works. The core value of her work lies in her ability to uncover overlooked aspects of common things.
