Jacky Cheng was born in Malaysia of Chinese heritage and currently resides in Yawuru Country, Broome, WA. Jacky weaves narratives and materials drawn from her familial and cultural experiences, and maps these to the esoteric and social constructs of her physical environment and its collective surroundings. Deeply rooted in her own bi-cultural experience, a focus of her work her is an emergence of identity and awareness through cultural activities, nostalgia and intergenerational relationships. Her predominant choice of medium reflects an intense relationship through methodologies and manipulation of papers and fibres in sculpture and installation.
