About
Yunchieh Chang, a multidisciplinary artist and fashion designer, draws inspiration from the deep wells of Eastern philosophy and Zen wisdom, exploring the subconsciousness and the intricate patterns of human psychology, emotions, and behaviors. Chang uses Sumi ink as her primary medium, employing innovative methods and techniques in ink application, origami, and texture manipulation on various materials in her dimensional works. Through her conceptual approach, monochromatic palette, and minimalist interpretation, Chang's work is a sanctuary of tranquility, inviting viewers to delve into introspective moments and find refuge in solitude.
With countless stimuli around us occupying our awake moments, Chang intends to direct our attention inward, into our spiritual realm, dwell in inner peace, and view ourselves and our world through a new lens. A lens that is not influenced by artificial and societal values but evolves from introspection, contemplation, and reflection. The truth and realization that the present moment is all we have, with our short and only one life, is a constant reminder for Chang to continue evoking the calmness, contentedness, and serenity that resides in each of us through her works, to be immersed in the lasting peace that comes from this state of mind.
Chang graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco with a BFA in Fashion Design in 2009. Her talent and dedication were recognized when she was awarded First Place in the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Scholarship in Womenwear Design. In 2011, Chang and her partner Dean Hutchinson founded a’bout, a women’s ready-to-wear atelier with aesthetics rooted in the classics and a forward yet refined interpretation suited for the modern intellect. In 2024, Chang was selected to participate in the Connecticut Women Artists’ Annual National Open Juried Exhibition at the Slater Memorial Museum in Norwich, CT, with two works from her Intuition Series: Intuition-2 and Intuition-3. Most recently, in 2025, Chang completed a commission project for Nobu Hotel in Toronto, Canada. Chang lives and works in Toronto, Canada.
張蘊潔是一位藝術家也是服裝設計師，對於東方哲理與禪的嚮往與實現是她創作的主要靈感與出發點，探索人類淺意識，心理，情緒，舉止之錯綜複雜的模式 。從她的創作裡可以感受到其思緒的過程與想要傳達的訊息，蘊潔的作品有如沈靜的一隅，邀請觀者們進入片刻的自我內視與獨處時光。
處於現在無時無刻都被外在資訊與刺激佔滿眼球與思緒的時代，蘊潔想要將我們的注意力從外導向內，回到個人內在意識與精神的範疇，著著在內心原有的平靜，並從一個新的視角來看自己還有這個世界。如此新視角是來自不斷的內省與思索而並不被社會與既定的價值所禁錮。蘊潔之所以透過創作致力於喚醒我們內在既有的自若，滿足，沈靜，並享受沈浸在這般恆久的平和是因為她由衷的體會到現在這個片刻就是我們全部的所有，而我們只有一次且短暫的生命如此不爭的事實便是持續提醒與支持她創作的動力。
張蘊潔於2009年畢業於舊金山藝術大學主修服裝設計。在校期間，其設計天賦與努力獲得美國服裝設計師協會肯定頒發女裝設計第一名獎學金榮譽。蘊潔在2011年與夥伴Dean Hutchinson創建了他們的女裝訂製品牌，a’bout，為現代知識女性設計以經典美學出發融合新穎品味且不失優雅的服裝。蘊潔直覺系列中的兩幅作品，直覺-2與直覺-3，在2024年入選 Connecticut Women Artists’ Annual National Open Juried Exhibition at the Slater Memorial Museum in Norwich, CT。近期於2025年，蘊潔為位於加拿大多倫多的 Nobu Hotel 完成其委任創作項目。蘊潔現在於加拿大多倫多旅居與創作。
