About
I am an interdisciplinary Australian-Chinese artist living and working on Gadigal land. My practice explores the limits of drawing, using media as diverse as sound, performance and installation alongside more traditional media like charcoal and graphite. I approach drawing as a process, a temporal art that unfolds in time, is open-ended, and provisional by nature. In hindsight, much of my work can be traced to a sustained inquiry into drawing's ontology: what it is, how it operates, where its limits lie, and how it might hold and make sense of the present moment. In both my artistic and curatorial practices I explore the edges of what drawing can be.
I completed a Bachelor of Visual Art (Painting) at Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney, and a Bachelor of Industrial Design (Honours) at University of Canberra. In 2022, I completed a Master of Fine Art (Drawing) at National Art School, where my research examined conceptions of time across physics, philosophy and human biology. That inquiry continues to inform an experimental process attentive to the ways drawing, its materials and its situations perform their own temporalities. I am interested in what drawing might reveal about the experience of being here, now.
I am co-founder and director of DRAW Space gallery in Sydney, a non-profit artist-run space focused on contemporary and experimental drawing practices. I founded the online portal, DRAWSTORE which allows collectors to find and purchase the best of contemporary Australian drawing. I was also on the transition board of Articulate Project Space in 2022.
I have presented solo and group exhibitions across Australia, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and France. I have been a finalist in national awards including the Ravenswood Australian Women's Art Prize, Fisher's Ghost Art Award, National Works on Paper Prize, Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award, and the Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing. My work is held in the permanent collection of the National Art School, Capella Sydney, Tamworth Regional Gallery, and in private collections in Australia and internationally.
