Cynthia Yang

Cynthia is a jeweller who likes to explore the limits and capabilities of metal through small-scale silversmithing. Influenced by man-made and naturally hollow forms, such as wind instruments, corkscrew willow, and vases, her work attempts to translate these into wearable pieces. A focus of interest in Cynthia’s work is tube making and how metal can perform as a hollow material.

 “In my work, I attempt to create large forms that their visual impact outweighs the physical. The challenges that I create motivate me to think outside of the box and problem solve imaginatively.

These hollow forms are extensions of myself and how I move and twist my body to create them. I nudge and coax the metal into shape, using the weight of my movements to control how far it goes before meandering the metal into its next curve.”
