As an artist, designer and educator, Prof. I-Ying Chiang has engaged in cultural product design, contemporary jewelry design, metalsmithing, and craftwork creation for decades. She comes to see this endeavor as an accord between body and time reached through a process of dialectical interaction. In both concept and technique, her creation is a fusion of tradition and innovation, in which she earnestly examines the relationship between time and existence. She also enhances her artwork and design teaching by merging technology and humanity, which also tried to expand the scope of craft and design to broaden categories.
