Qiang (Helen) Li
China 1991
Qiang (Helen) Li’s work is exploring the connections between art and design, form and function. Her jewellery work is a means of communicating new concepts relating to body and decoration. While industrial, mechanical and textile design influence her works, she breaks with traditional silversmith and goldsmith work and experiments with forms and materials. Her technical practice explores interactions between jewellery and desire leading to “fun jewellery” and inventive creations.
Qiang is a highly motivated award-winning jewellery & product designer and artist based in London.
MA in Jewellery & Metal from Royal College of Art, London UK 2018-2020.
