Huang Chia-Min (Born in 1969)

Huang Chia-Min is a Taiwanese artist living in France.
After graduating from the National Normal University of Taiwan, she taught visual arts in Tainan. She then obtained a Master 2 Arts Plastiques at Université Paris 8.

Her work deals with the representation of remembrance, memory and forgetting.
She is interested in traces and snippets left by the past, kept by memory. Huang Chia-Min uses rope that she dips in ink, which she applies or slides over paper. The surface quickly becomes covered with threads, brushwood, knots and holes. Planes are superimposed, creating depth, hiding areas and uncovering others.
Perhaps she is showing us, like the fishermen of her childhood who were reeling in their nets, how memory brings back the almost sunken past by untying knots and filling in holes.
