Kelly Jin Mei (b. 1991, Singapore) works primarily in crochet and textile, a practice she developed from childhood. Her work centres on the materiality of the medium and its layered histories, exploring duality, identity, and ownership through processes of construction and deliberate destruction—disintegration, transformation, and revocation.

Kelly Jin Mei is currently the resident of Delfina Foundation’s summer residency programme Making and Materiality, supported by The Institutum. Jin Mei has exhibited internationally at the 18th International Triennial of Textiles, Łódź (2025); Biennale Jogja 18, Indonesia (2024); and the #4 Objet Textile Biennale, Roubaix (2022). She has held solo exhibitions at Cuturi Gallery, Singapore and ara Contemporary, Jakarta. Her commissions include permanent installations for Bloomberg Singapore and GUCCI’s Marina Bay Sands flagship store.
