Amy Leung is a London based artist working across sculpture, drawing and workshops to explore the articulation and communication of joy. As an arts educator, she is interested in the intersections in which community, craft, objects and cultural identity meet. Material exploration and playing collaboratively are key to her practice, with ideas emerging through making together. Senses and bodies mingle with materials; delighting in the responsive nature of stuff and spaces.
Amy has previously worked with schools, families and communities on projects at Drawing Room, Firstsite, Towner Eastbourne, SLG and MK Gallery. She is currently studying for an MA Art and Design in Education at UCL.
