Self Portrait
hello earthlings,
thanks for stopping by.
Engaging across a spectrum of disciplines—sculpture, photography, print, sound, text, and drawing—my work and research draws attention to the unnoticed non-human populations that support us. I use my practice as a platform to make visible these threatened and fragile systems. Through seemingly futile acts of repair, nurture, and care for dried plant matter, I express the tension of our relationship with lost and damaged habitats. By scavenging and repurposing manmade or natural materials I cultivate ecological awareness, to provoke action, and to practice circularity and the art of noticing.
Through immersive, tactile, playful, and delicate expressions, my multimedia installation create space for contemplation, where human perspective and scale are suspended, for the audience to reflect upon the ambiguous, small, and transitory evidence of non-human experience. With this gentle, yet potently charged endeavour, I am hoping to enable more reparative and sustainable ways of co-existing with nature.
As a recent MFA graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, I am honoured to have received the Sarabande Emerging Artist Award and to be a finalist for the Adrian Carruthers Award (2023). Noteworthy accomplishments include winning the Fevers, Frets & Futures: Performance, Movement, Audio Prize, as well as being a shared recipient of the Jeanne Szego Travel Award (2022). Recent exhibitions include "Swords & Kisses" at Staffordshire St Gallery, "Squeeze" at Barbican Arts Group Trust, and "Liminal Cracks" at SET Kensington. My works are in the collections of institutions including Slade School of Fine Art, Tai Kwun Museum of Contemporary Art, Hong Kong Literature House, and Hong Kong Baptist University.
