About Chun Ding
Chun Ding is a London-based visual artist whose practice bridges the analog tactility of cyanotype with the conceptual plasticity of digital collage. Drawing from botanical forms and the anatomy of gesture, she weaves ecological motifs and speculative machines into a language that oscillates between presence and absence, craft and code.

​
Her works explore how memory, intimacy, and transformation are inscribed across surface and skin, often incorporating materials as agents of touch and trace rather than spectacle. These elements unsettle the boundary between body and image, proposing new metaphors for fragility, inscription, and the unseen circuits linking the organic and the artificial.

​
Through a materially attentive and experimental approach, Ding treats cyanotype as a mutable site where chemistry, sunlight, and time interact with the residues of life. Within these slow acts of recording, digital collage and mechanical interfaces appear as gestures of disruption and translation, where precision coexists with loss and the human merges with the technological.
