About

Yi Hsuan Sung is a multidisciplinary textile artist and material-driven designer whose work bridges art, design, and sustainability. Her practice explores biodegradable systems using agar, a natural gel derived from red seaweed, to create floral textiles, lighting, and decorative objects inspired by nature.

Through material research and experimentation, Sung combines handcraft with tools such as 3D modeling, 3D printing, and laser cutting. She also develops natural dyes from food waste and wild plants, emphasizing slow, mindful, and harm-free processes.

Sung holds an MFA in Textiles from Parsons School of Design and a BA in Fashion from Taipei Shih Chien University. Her work has been featured by American Craft CouncilMetropolisNYCxDesign, and New York Textile Month, and exhibited at Mana ContemporaryThe Met, and Governors Island.
