Hannah Lim United Kingdom, b. 1998
"My practice has been a way for me to explore parts of my cultural identity. As a woman of mixed
Singaporean and British heritage, my work explores the relationship between these two cultures,
looking to how this has been reflected historically in furniture design, objects and architecture.
More broadly I often create works that reflect on the history of different cultural designs and motifs."
Hannah Lim b.1998 is a London based artist working between sculpture, installation and drawing.
