Josephine CHAN

To deepen and sharpen craftsmanship through apprenticeships with masters of conservation, framing, and mounting for traditional Chinese paintings. Through observation, interviews, and visits to museums and collections, Chan seeks to advance her practice in Chinese-style mounting for hanging scrolls and hand scrolls. Parallel to this, she will develop an approach that is personally sustainable and critically informed in balancing traditional aesthetic principles with contemporary artwork conservation thinking. Building on over 10 years of experience in Western archival framing and mount-making, and established proficiency in Chinese lining, Chan seeks to deepen both the technical and conceptual dimensions of her work and broaden her understanding of how historical models, regional variations, and conservation ethics converge in the contemporary presentation and care of Chinese works on paper.
