SYDNEY.- Sullivan+Strumpf announced representation of emerging Singaporean-based artist Tiffany Loy.

Tiffany Loy is an emerging Singaporean textile artist whose practice is defined by both experimental technique and material complexity. Awarded a Masters in Textiles at the Royal College of Art, London, and trained in industrial design in Singapore and textile-weaving in Kyoto, Loy employs an investigative approach to weaving, to materiality, and to art-making more broadly.

Loy’s practice explores relationships between fundamental elements such as colour, structure, and the invisible force in weaving: tension. Exploring both the limitations and poetic potential of tension in threads, Loy is drawn to the ways that the human eye perceives the depth and volume of colour, at both the scale of a single thread, and that of a larger woven work.

Loy considers weaving as lines in, within, and around space with the power to augment perception. Her densely woven and intricate abstract sculptures invite viewers to consider textile not as a surface, but lines that penetrate space and observe limits of what can be observable.
 
“The starting point for many of my explorations about lines and space is in the fragility of lines. I try to see textiles not just as a surface, but to consider the single line that precedes that surface. From there, it spins off into something quite philosophical.” --Tiffany Loy

Since 2014, Loy’s works have been exhibited internationally, including at Singapore Art Museum, Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art, La Triennale di Milano, Milan Design Week and Dubai Art Week. She graduated from the Royal College of Art, London, with an MA in Textiles, specialising in weaving, and was a recipient of the DesignSingapore Scholarship.
