Artist, curator. Based in Sydney.

​

Her art practice includes paintings, photography, installations, and documentation.

Wandi started to create artworks from 2015 during her undergraduate degree in economics. She went to study at the University of Melbourne as a postgraduate in on the Master of Art Curatorship course. She co-curated her first exhibition: Amplified, Redefined: Protest for Change at the George Paton Gallery in April 2018.

 

Her artwork explores feminism and focuses on female identity. Growing up in China, her artworks are inspired by and build upon personal experiences in the context of Chinese culture and society.

​

In recent years practice, Wandi uses common objects from day to day life and transforms them into installations. Through the everydayness of the objects, she reflects on the elements and meanings of the construction of female identity. In her latest work, she uses party balloons to create a fake gender reveal party setup. She includes red ribbons which are believed to bring luck in traditional Chinese superstitions, as a metaphor for the female experience of marriage.

Anger is power. Anger is a reason.
