Statement
Chiu I-Chi is a Taiwanese artist whose work explores the relationship between the body, nature, and trauma through fictional organisms. Drawing from personal experiences of illness, caregiving, and recovery, she creates hybrid life forms that merge human and botanical elements. Growing up in her family’s piercing shop, Chiu also reflects on practices of bodily modification and transformation.
Working across painting, embroidery, soft sculpture, and installation, she constructs biological landscapes that reflect processes of healing, mutation, and decay. Through these imagined species, she transforms personal memory into ecological narratives that exist between scientific observation and poetic imagination.
