Helen Lin is a Chinese-American artist born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. She produces soft sculpture, interactive digital spaces, and confessional zines that cry out to be seen, touched, held, comforted. Through labor-intensive stitching of physical and digital forms, she drenches her work in melancholic cuteness, bringing ugly feelings to the surface of endearing, approachable fictional characters and worlds. Born and raised in a first-generation immigrant family in Brooklyn, she earned a scholarship degree in Visual Arts at Princeton University with a minor in East Asian Studies. More recently, Lin has been developing ways to translate illustrations and sculptures into new media, creating virtual mascot interactions hosted through web experiments and 3d immersive environments. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program.
