Journey to the East Artwork

Maggie Williams (she/her, b.1989) is a British-Chinese artist based at the Lewisham Arthouse, an artist-run co-operative in London. Williams’ practice is based on themes surrounding cultural identity and the effects of second-generation diaspora. She explores the fractured, contradictory experience of belonging using a wide array of media - from playfully reappropriating found objects to challenging the confines of more traditional techniques such as embroidery. This process-based work attempts to make the liminal space between the two cultures intelligible.
