Sriwhana Spong
The London-based artist Sriwhana Spong‘s practice moves between film, painting, performance and sculpture.
Born in New Zealand and of Indonesian and Pākehā descent, Spong works with everyday materials and offers installations that encompass sculptural, musical, and performative dimensions that inspire moments of gathering, listening, and transformation. Her recent work has focussed on the relationship between the body, language and sound, as inspired by the practices of medieval female mystics. In parallel to this Spong’s work continues to explore her long standing interest in understanding her personal sense of displacement in reference to her Balinese heritage.
