Kiwon Wang

Kiwon Wang was born in Korea and has lived in the United States for the last 16 years. She has a BFA in jewelry and metal smithing from Georgia State University and has an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design.

Her work is based on the theme "East meets West", which is the meeting and the interplay between materials and forms, methods, techniques and literature. In every step of my jewelry creation combine the Eastern traditional boundaries and the Western modern boundaries, reaching the realm of where objects adorn the body using contrast, tension, absence and presence.
