Yen-Chao Lin is a Taipei-born Montreal-based visual artist. Having grown up in a multifaith family attending Sunday mass, Buddhist ceremonies, and New Age conferences with her mother, she is interested in spirituality, dowsing, alchemy, and power. A natural history enthusiast and an avid collector, she gathers specimens of mineral, botanical, animal and industrial origins and investigates how cultural heritage and personal hauntology intertwine through divination arts and folklore. By means of intuitive play, collaboration, and scavenging, her tactile practice often incorporates various craft techniques, such as vitreous enameling, metalsmithing, and glass, culminatiing in installations, sculptures, and experimental films.
