ABOUT
Caroline Ip is an artist and facilitator based in London, whose practice brings together interests in diasporic culture, storytelling, and archives, considering the processes through which our identities are constructed and contested.
Drawn to hand-sewing, perhaps in part due to ancestral connections to the textiles industries in Lancashire and China, this technique has become a medium through which Caroline explores her own mixed heritage and nurtures collective dialogue in community spaces. Her process centres a tactile relationship with materials, utilising recycled and second-hand fabrics alongside found objects and ephemera, with a curiosity into the role of sensory memory in shaping our cultural identities.
