Sai Kung artists Kate Sparrow, Zoe Coughlan and Sue Perks will exhibit their work at PubArt gallery in Central from November 6 to 17. “Beyond The Fold” explores the ways in which people make sense of the spaces around them, a spokesman for PubArt said.
She said Kate’s works explore the moment it all began as well as the possibilities of different realities that may exist and how we as humans occupy these spaces. Inspired by her background in archaeology, Zoe’s art attempts to unpack the ways in which Hongkongers navigate the city, particularly the somewhat ambivalent spaces of public housing. Sue is interested in layers of mark-making, and how people created meaning through constructing and altering their environment.

Sue Perks
Sue is a Hong Kong-based artist working with a variety of encaustic, paint and printmaking and digital media.
