Averagely Unique

This is an interview between Patrick Aaron Decker and Lin Cheung, for Current Obsession, about Cheung's work and creative process.

Introduction:
The work of jewellery artist extraordinaire Lin Cheung 
(UK, 1971) —senior lecturer at Central Saint Martins in London and known for her design of the 2012 Paralympic medal
— is shaped around the ever different reading of everyday jewellery. Lin’s story could have been the nostalgic tale of jewellery in its most archetypical form —if it wasn’t for the multifaceted artist herself. Instead, Cheung’s words can guide us through the narrative of contemporary jewellery, sharpening our notions of material/concept/form through her personal motivation to keep on making. Her work enriches the language of jewellery by constantly supplying it with new verbs and proverbs. When was the last time jewellery made you think about being uniquely average or averagely unique?
