Xin Lian is a Chinese American artist who utilizes the process of imprinting to bind the multiplicity of time. Her practice is based on the act of embedding and leaving behind traces of activities and presences that once lived. By recording past energy through drawing, the residue of the past resides in the image of the “current”. Through the conversation of the past and the present, she attempts to reconstruct our current relationship with trauma, loss, and grief. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology. Her works have exhibited at CICA Museum in Gimpo, Museum of FIT in New York, M. David & Co. Gallery in Brooklyn, and Amos Eno Gallery in Brooklyn.
