Space

I research, write, and teach about space. I think about materials, relationships, and how people connect in space.

I love to think about and make books.

Image

I draw and print, mostly from life. Drawing is how I learned to move and feel.

I studied Illustration & Animation at Kingston School of Art and previously tried out a career in fashion illustration. Now I make images for myself and independent publishing, as well as teach. I also dabble in other kinds of making, namely textiles and printmaking.

For me, drawing is about texture, bodies, movement. It is itself a trace of my own body and hand, sometimes a machine, often a material. Images can be sensual and sensitive in queer and quiet ways. 

Constellation

I think collectively and collaboratively. Forming constellations are an important part of my practice.

I am a co-founder of two research collectives, Hong Kong Design History Network; and astra*. Both of these groups were founded on the ethos of criticality and curiousity while prioritising integrity and connection. There is something to be said for slow research - as our everyday becomes more pressing, it is all the more urgent to slow down and be present.

Together with these collectives, I have co-curated exhibitions, made publications, designed and facilitated workshops, and had the opportunity to exchange with people all over the world.

hkdhnet is a design collective focused on the design history and material cultures of Hong Kong. We co-curated the Hong Kong Pavillion at the London Design Biennale in 2021.

astra* is a design constellation with Zara Arshad, engaging in intersections, serendipity, works-in-progress, and intuitive research.

I also think about constellations in terms of research. Here’s how you can make your own research planisphere.
