Xuan is a Singaporean-Malaysian textile artist, fabricator, and designer based in London. Her practice(s) are rooted in negation and emptiness, in order to activate meditative environments that underscore the extreme labour-intensiveness of their making. Through weaving, perfumery, installation, textual manipulation, and computing, her work productively uses meditation and labour to see through processes in karmic cycles, memory, and spatio-temporal imaginations into being diaspora. grounded in gnomonic systems of measurement, time, celestial divination and astronomy, based in ancient Vedic scripture, Mahāyāna Buddhism, Euclidean geometry, and Daoist logic, they are mutually formulaic and repetitive.

She has also worked across London and Singapore, such as with A.P.T. Gallery, Fitzrovia Gallery, Starch, Mimosa House, Goldsmiths Centre of Contemporary Art, Constance Howard Gallery, Barbican Arts Group Trust, Kunst Affair, A Particular Reality, Freelands Foundation, Mads do & Mend, and has directed visual content for A Particular Reality, Sengkang General Hospital, and PK Records. She is also coproducer for Silkworm Collective in conducting community collaborations, workshops, and marketing. Silkworm currently hold a residency at the Goldsmiths’ Centre of Contemporary Art and are in ongoing collaboration with Greenwich Royal Libraries and Teaspoon Projects.

She holds a First Class Honours degree in Fine Art and History of Art from Goldsmiths, University of London.
