Shu Wang


Master of Design in Fashion, Body and Garment

I am a jewelry and fashion accessory designer, as well as a wearable sculptor, born in China and currently located in the United States. I initially majored in Nonmetallic Inorganic Material Engineering at the University of Science and Technology Beijing. After two and a half years of studying Material Engineering, I transferred to Jewelry and Metal Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2017. Currently, I am exploring wearable sculpture and installation art while pursuing a Master degree in Body Fashion and Garment at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. With a background in material engineering, jewelry, and metal-smithing, my artistic practice involves creating sculptures at various scales that intersect art, design, engineering, and fashion through the utilization of mixed materials. Geometry plays a pivotal role in my work; I abstractly render and transform thoughts geometrically. I excel in integrating modeling programs and 3D printing techniques into my artistic endeavors. My practice invariably originates from my reactions, emotions, and expectations. Interactivity with the body is essential in my works, as the body serves as a canvas where my works are on as pigment.
