Cathleen Lau is a Hong Kong-based artist with a practice in mixed media sculpture and cross-media, large-scale installation. Cathleen graduated from the Hong Kong Art School (RMIT) with a major in sculpture. Her work unfolds the possibilities of how sustainable and renewable materials can be used, such as creating wooden carvings with molded sawdust. Moreover, she sculpts spaces by engaging with a variety of mediums, ambiences, and audiences to present mixed media carving and installation art. Her work is concerned with the natural world as seen in the urban context, using nature as a metaphor for human and social conditions, thus contemplating the norms and boundaries of living beings.
