Suiyuan Jin (born 1997 in Linhai, China) is a Providence-based sculptor whose work pushes the boundaries of materiality and narrative. She received her BA in philosophy from Sun Yat-sen University in 2019 and MFA in Sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 2024. She is pursuing her Ph.D in Theatre and Performance at the CUNY Graduate Center.
Born out of a deep curiosity for the intersections of myth, philosophy, post-humanism, folklore, and object-centered theatre, Jin's sculptures are a testament to the intricate dance between concept and form. Her artistic journey is marked by a profound exploration of unconventional materials and techniques. She have developed a distinctive casting technique that marries resin with recycled trash, resulting in sculptures that embody a unique blend of sustainability and innovation. The amalgamation of myth and contemporary concerns creates a rich tapestry of storytelling within Jin's artistic practice.
