Edith Tzu Fen Lin - Fiber Artist 

Born in Taipei, Edith Tzu Fen Lin graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design in 2013. She then worked as a designer and an executive planner in AGUA Design and City Yeast till 2018. During this period of working, she established her interests on crocheting and applied her 3D modelling skill on soft sculptural pieces. She even started to crochet various art pieces with non-conventional materials (used plastic bags) since 2016. With consciousness of trash crisis, she began more zero waste projects with overused plastic bags, jeans and textile waste.

In 2018, Tzu-Fen began her practices on different fiber experiences around Taiwan and gradually moved from a hobbyist to an amateur artist. Edith devoted to open up people's imagination towards knitting thus started her own brand "Gogozi Crochet" in 2018. Besides her own work, she also took part in a zero waste youth art community “Give to Gift” and “NO!W Across Lab” in 2019. 
 

 With her design background, Tzu-Fen developed her unique insight in daily life. She tends to see things from the essence of a subject and transform into art pieces. She is obsessed with nature phenomena, organisms, daily life patterns, traditional crafts and culture. Tzu-Fen is adept in applying non-conventional materials, urban waste and neglected common objects in her work. She identified herself through her unique observation, life collection and cross culture exchange. 

From her point of view, art is a way to awaken people's perspective to see things with conscious mind. Art can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
