JHC_JUDYis a Taiwan-born, New York-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice sits at a poetic crossroads of traditional craftsmanship and thoughtful technology. She began her painting journey in 2015 and expanded into sculpture in 2017, developing a tactile language grounded in emotional honesty and material sensitivity. Her sculptures—whether wood, stone, or mixed media—are emotional vessels, translating body language, memory, and fleeting moments into physical form. She holds a B.S. in Computer Science and Studio Art with Honors from Stony Brook University, along with a minor in Digital Arts.
Judy’s work has been recognized in both artistic and technological communities. She has received several awards including Audience Choice – Best in Show at the Gramercy Art Show, the Gabriel Award for Excellence in Painting, and top honors at national hackathons such as SBUHacks (Best Game Dev) and Hack@CEWIT (VR Best Dev). Her work has been featured in Suboart Magazine and :iidrr Artist Interview, and exhibited in juried shows across New York and Boston, including installations at the Art Students League of New York and the Salmagundi Club. Her interdisciplinary approach creates spaces where vulnerability, playfulness, and curiosity converge, revealing how emotion can live simultaneously in material, gesture, and digital breath.
"My work investigates human interaction, agency, and material response through perceptual studies that treat objects as interactive systems rather than static forms. I create work that responds to touch, movement, and proximity, inviting participants to shape outcomes through intuitive, embodied engagement.
Drawing from natural rhythms and everyday behaviors, the work examines how subtle interactions influence attention, decision-making, and collective dynamics. By foregrounding interaction over spectacle, I aim to create spaces where meaning emerges through use rather than interpretation. In this way, my practice preserves the ephemeral not by fixing it in time, but by continually reactivating it through human presence."
