Karry Hon (she/her) is a Hong Kong visual artist specializing in punch needling and hand embroidery. Hon graduated from Simon Fraser University and had been living in Vancouver for seven years. She searches for discourse and harmony between Hong Kong and international art practices, between art and culture, and between art and diverse disciplines. Outside of the studio, she has training experience in administrative tasks, archive management, art sales, exhibition and event production in contemporary art galleries and organizations. 

 

Karry Hon’s visual approach moves through her identity, home, community, and world. She searches for bodies and objects relationships while making links between domestic signs, psychotherapy, and healing. Their associations have become images of herself, acting as a shield against the complexities of the outside world. Banality and reminiscence are silhouettes and by tracing these concepts, she finds other ways of seeing that enhance the tensions between the familiar and the unfamiliar. Her works encode subtle and mundane occasions alongside everyday and intimate objects by borrowing and combining multicultural art methods. These conventional instants contain a contemporary manner speaking to our tedious and repetitive intricate networks of experiences through the cut-out representation of living entities and their silenced expressions.
