About the Artist:

Peggy Chan

Chan received her Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) degree from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University. Her works usually originate from her everyday experience and imagination, attempting to explore the triangular relationship between the individual, the city and nature. Cyanotype, a traditional photographic printing process, has been Chan's favourite medium in her recent works. Highly relied on sunlight and time in the creation process, her cyanotype works evoke the uncertainty of nature, signifying how our lives flow along with the ever-changing environment.
