Painting has always inspired Jiayang in her art and design practice. Through adopting jewellery design----the medium considered a symbol of permanence - Jiayang reassigns meaning to the painted image as a traditional means for capturing the evanescent. Utilising the technique of painting on enamel, Jiayang reimagines the craft and textural quality of two-dimensional art, mobilising its essence in a three-dimensional form that is wearable. Jiayang challenges the beholder to question the hierarchies of form and value, as well as perceptions of authenticity and imitation.
