Katrina Leigh Mendoza Raimann is a Filipino artist based in Hong Kong. She is an interdisciplinary artist who recently graduated with a BA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London in 2019. Working across textiles, installation and performance, she tells stories of intimacy, relationships, and the body. The body, intimacy, love, tension, anxiety and power — her art practice focuses on the histories of material and action, gender and labour. The relationship between the body and textile is something that fascinates the artist. For the artist, the process of making through the body’s actions is something that coexists within the textile and within the work. Embedded in the textile are both her physical and emotional memories. When the hands speak for the mind without conscious and rational decisions, a more honest abstract work appears. The work becomes a vulnerable but truthful conversation between the artist and the materials - empowering each other.
