Tzuhan Lin (林子涵) is a Taiwanese artist based in London and Taiwan. She graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in Sculpture and previously completed her BA in Painting at Edinburgh College of Art. Her ideas often come from mundane scenes—such as abandoned buildings, construction sites and liminal spaces—where she observes what’s functional and what’s undefined. Her work also begins in a more abstract realm, focusing on lines, shapes and forms that evoke a sense of weight, connection and tension between oppositions.

Her practice explores how the spaces we live in are formed— not just physically, as in the concept of home but also conceptually, as shaped by how knowledge is accumulated and acknowledged. The context of her works often shifts between and builds connections amoung concepts such as the subjective experience of time and duration, clock time, and time as a nonlinear concept.

She uses different aspects of time as metaphors to reflect on the relationship between the individual and the collective within social frameworks—considering time as a functional system that shapes how individuals experience the world while being part of a larger structure. Clock time as a mathematical tool invented by humans, serves as a metaphor for the pursuit of power, utopian ideals and the manipulative nature of rigid, self-imposed structures. She also contemplates silent undercurrents that persist within uncompromising and opaque contexts.
