Yu-Mei Huang is a London-based textile artist, whose focus lies in innovative knit practice. Drawing from her East Asian heritage, her works reflect a multicultural background that weaves together various mediums, including subjects such as textile materiality, the body and space, cultural mobility, and displacement. Yu-Mei creates a dialogue between visuals and tactile experiences by experimenting with various materials and producing large-scale sculptures and installations that revel in material tactility and the collective experience of space.
