Jinghong Chen’s cut paper art

I am a book artist currently based in Providence, Rhode Island.

Born and raised in southern China, my works are influenced by Chinese folk traditions. I draw inspiration from memories, nature, and dreams which often lead me to explore my relationship to family, land, and the greater Chinese diaspora. Borrowing religious and traditional Chinese motifs, I often play with the juxtaposition of the spiritual and physical distance between ourselves and home, and a feeling of misplacement. The medium of paper allows me to connect with many Chinese ritual practices, blurring the line between reality and imagination.
