Xinyi Liu (b. 1993, China) lives and works in New York and Beijing. She received her MFA from Columbia University, and her BA and BFA from Cornell University. She has taught as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia University and Syracuse University. Liu works with mulberry paper, which resonates with the thin and silky quality of human skin. She creates works that metaphorically mimic the processes of treating wounds to heal. Through her “medical” manipulation, they become her “second skin.” Like a doctor, she does surgeries for her work.
