Biography
Ziyi Wei
Ziyi Wei is a multidisciplinary artist based in Naarm (Melbourne), originally from Guiyang, Guizhou, China. Working across sculpture, painting, and moving image, her practice approaches ornamentation as a material and symbolic force that acts upon the body. Through mass-produced and traditional Chinese jewelry, Wei examines how identity and lived cultural experience are circulated, aestheticized, and commodified within contemporary systems of value. Her work traces processes of feminization through adornment, where excess becomes a site of desire, protection, and constraint. She has presented work at Blindside, George Paton Gallery, and Kings Artist-Run, with further presentations in Brisbane and China.
