Sai-Wai Foo

Sai-Wai Foo is a Malaysian-born Chinese, Melbourne-based artist. Her training in fashion design influences and informs her practice through technique, finish and materials.

 Foo is a bricoleur who collects discarded and redundant items and gives them a new life through her sculptural practice. Working primarily in paper and textiles, Foo’s materiality prompts viewers to consider discarded materials and to reconsider how things are used in our over-curated and insatiable consumer society. Her pieces invite a more intimate engagement, due to their scale and delicacy.
