Katie Poon

Katie is an interdisciplinary artist who works across sculpture, painting, pottery and interactive installation. Her artistic mediums of choice include Jesmonite, plaster, metal, watercolours, oil paints, and traditional Chinese pigments. By incorporating lighting and sound effects, she creates immersive installations that fulfil all the senses. In the post-pandemic age of digitalisation, people communicate less and less, but this drought in communication has only led to more conflict. Katie sees her practice as water dripping into a parched stream, whose thirst will not be satisfied until it reaches the ocean. A person can be most powerful only when one integrates oneself with the collective cause, and the cause for Katie is to explore, reflect, and promote different means of conversation and connection. She upholds the concept of the unity of all things and advocates equality and dialogue.
