Jinghong Chen is a Chinese-born visual artist currently based in Rhode Island.

Her work explores themes of memory, place, and belonging through the medium of cut paper. She reflects on the layered experiences of migration, drawing on the landscapes and traditions of both her hometown and her adopted home. Influenced by Chinese folk traditions, nature, and personal history, Chen’s intricate hand-cut designs incorporate motifs from religious and cultural imagery. These elements are woven with natural forms, as well as narratives from local history. Her work invites viewers to reflect on how we rebuild our relationships with land, family, and home.

Chen will be selling her original cut paper works as well as adapted risograph and letterpress prints at RISD Craft.
