Liangyi Chen is an interior textile designer based in London and Hangzhou. She graduated with a BA in Interior Textile Design from the China Academy of Art. During her year at the Royal College of Art, she continued to be passionate about interior textiles.
Liangyi loves life, nature and gardens. Her work is mainly based on plants and flowers, focusing on observing the connection between our senses, emotions and nature to recreate this dialogue between the body and the landscape.
This project recorded a dark moment in my life when I wanted to save myself in a London garden. I liken myself to a garden wanderer to recreate this dialogue between the body and the landscape. In an English garden, the body wanders between the comforting landscape of the eye and the pleasure of wandering aimlessly.
This will have two parts, from the low point to the gradual rescue of itself.
The first part will be based on blackness, the feeling of wandering through my darkest moments
The second part is the gradual process of saving myself, with black and pink as the primary colour palette, a slow blooming of flowers.
