_ Bio: Joseph Yen is an Auckland based craftsman working in clothing design and silver, who works under the moniker, Thyen. Yen is interested in ideas of memory, pattern and repetition and works with clean androgynous designs that reference both modern and ancient pattern-making. Working with fine, natural and antique textiles, Yen has developed a distinct combination of pattern-making and collage through which he seeks to collect and repurpose the subtle shadows and memories of each fabric. Through sensitive processes of collecting, shaping patching and stitching, Yen aims to work in a way that binds lived history to the future, emphasising an embodied way of being in the world that is too easily lost in language.
