RED HONG YI
Collage
Hong Yi, who goes by the nickname ‘Red’, is a Malaysian artist-architect. She was given the nickname because her name, Hong, sounds like the word ‘red’ in Mandarin.
After graduating from university in Australia, she took up an offer to work for Australian architecture firm HASSELL in their Shanghai office, and was completely taken with the city, with its special structures and tensions, its unique history and culture. This inspired her to start on creating art using local everyday materials she found in China as her medium. It was an outlet for her to express how much she felt for a place her grandparents once left.
She currently runs her own design studio and lives and works between Shanghai and Malaysia.
'Birds made of flowers' is a series started when she realised that flower petals – especially gerbera petals – look similar to feathers especially when they are arranged on top of one another, layer by layer.
She tries to push the limits of her creativity by experimenting with a new material for her art every month, and uploads these mini art projects onto her Instagram account. - Red Hong Yi
