Lin Jungyi, an Amis from Taitung, Taiwan, known in her native language as Halomei, graduated from the Institute of Ethnic Arts at Donghua University. With a background in fine arts from high school and university, she was introduced to the traditional Amis bark cloth craft in 2011. Since then, she has committed herself to studying the cultural roots and techniques of bark cloth production, with the goal of innovatively blending Taiwan’s Indigenous bark cloth traditions with contemporary textile aesthetics.
In 2012, she was selected as a resident artist at the National Museum of Prehistory in Taiwan, which led to further invitations for exhibitions and residencies at venues such as Chungyo Department Store and the Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology. She was also awarded a Merit Award in the 2018 PULIMA Art Award. In 2015, to encourage the natural integration of bark cloth crafts into daily life, Jungyi founded Unique Bark Studio, where she creates lifestyle products that have been exhibited and sold internationally in cities including Bangkok, Beijing, Tokyo, and Paris.
