Viv

Lee

I am a Hong Kong-born, Glasgow-based artist-maker and participatory facilitator working predominantly with clay and self-gathered natural materials. My practice involves walking, foraging, object-making, and participatory facilitation. Through these processes, I explore repair, belonging, and connection through a feminist, decolonial, diasporic, and neurodivergent lens, shaped by my experience of moving between cultures, identities, and ways of being. Time spent outdoors gathering materials is central to my practice. Making begins in the encounter with landscape. Through object-making, I explore sensory and embodied relationships with self, material, and place, while participatory facilitation creates shared spaces for connection between people, materials, and the natural world. Together, these practices form an ecological approach grounded in attention, reciprocity, and collective experience. Before studying Sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art, I studied Law at University College London and completed a Master’s in Complementary & Alternative Health Studies at the University of Exeter. My work is both ritual and reclamation: a re-enchantment with the natural world and a way of healing from our separation from nature. Alongside object-making, facilitation is a means of widening access to creative and material engagement beyond traditional art-world spaces.
