大鯉魚 Big Carp Artwork

Eastman Cheng is a contemporary soft sculptor. She used a range of sewing techniques, women's handcraft to exhibit the beauty of fabrics, create and express her viewpoints toward various social issues. She has exhibited extensively, including public art, installation and soft sculpture in public space, gallery and museum in Hong Kong. Eastman’s artwork is inspired by daily products. She believed human design products can reflect their culture, life and heart. She used all the women's handcraft creating processes such as bead weaving, embroidery, weaving, hand sewing, tapestry making…. etc. Her work is always inspired by the procession of making, like her counterfeit money series with an underground workshop behind, tapestry making art projects to invite people to join making during the exhibition period. She believes making is the procession for people to observe yourself. She was born in Hong Kong, currently lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland.
