Kimberly Chong
Born in Malaysia and currently based in Hong Kong, Kimberly Chong is intrigued by the relationship between man and nature. Her practice focuses on jewellery and sculpture on the body, often playing with the ideas of co-existence and environmental repercussions of human actions. She enjoys recycling waste materials and incorporating them into her creations, while at the same time observing and appreciating nature’s way of processing synthetic objects.
Chong graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts of Hong Kong Baptist University in 2020. She received the Gaffa Award for Excellence in Contemporary Jewellery for her work Mundane Existence in her graduation show; the artwork entered the HKBU Academy of Visual Art Studies Collection in the same year. Since her graduation, Chong has participated in several exhibitions of contemporary jewellery and art, including that and then, (2023) at WURE AREA in Hong Kong recently.
