Genevieve Ang is an artist and designer interested in investigating our complex relationship with materials and the resulting ecological implications of our interactions. She seeks to engage with the diverse uses of different materials through experimentation and to untangle the intricate processes through research, translating the outputs into sculptures, visual images, and installations that bring together craft, technology, nature, and people. Immersed in both art and design, she was funded by DesignSingapore under the Good Design Research Grant to experiment on how glass waste can be transformed into glazes. Additionally, she has exhibited internationally in art and design showcases such as Art Jakarta, SEA Focus, and EMERGE @FIND, a platform for South-East Asia’s creatives.
