XU LUOJUN

Accessories and Jewellery Designer @

United Kingdom

As an artist, I always focus on exploring the interactions between maker, wearer and viewer, which draws the inspiration from social studies and performance art, seeks to reframe the applied arts notion of ‘use’ into the contemporary art notion of ‘participation’. Interaction is a form of proof, and a similar purpose: to breach the gap between contemporary accessories, jewellery and public.
