Bic Tieu

Bic Tieu is a designer and maker, currently teaching at the University of New South Wales, Art & Design. Bic’s works draw on traditional and contemporary crafts methods and technology, inspired by Asian sensibilities to communicate narratives based on personal cross-cultural concepts. Recent projects have used geographical mapping and graphic language to construct explorations of cultural identity, transnationalism in the form of architectural objects and wearables designated between the hand and body.
