About
Ko Jou Chen is a Taiwanese artist based in Naarm/Melbourne whose practice includes contemporary jewellery, object-making, and spatial installation. Her work explores materiality, memory, and the quiet rituals of domestic space. Through making and display, she reflects on how objects can hold stillness, comfort, and presence within the shifting spaces she inhabits.
Chen holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from RMIT University and an Advanced Diploma of Jewellery and Object Design from Melbourne Polytechnic. She received The Future Leaders Award at Fresh! (Craft Victoria, 2024) and the JMGA Award at Graduate Metal XVI (JMGA, 2024).
