Tiffany Loy
Born: 1987
Hometown: Singapore
Based in: Singapore
Tiffany Loy is a Singaporean artist, first trained in industrial design at National University of Singapore, then textile-weaving at Kawashima Textile School. Loy is a recipient of the DesignSingapore Scholarship, graduating in 2020 with an MA in Textiles from the Royal College of Art, specialising in woven textiles.
Since the founding of her eponymous studio in 2014, Loy’s experimental works have been exhibited internationally, at venues such as Singapore Art Museum, National Museum of Singapore, Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art, and La Triennale di Milano.
Loy’s background in product and textile design has led to her unique approach in creating materials with minute details, while keeping in mind their overall impact in the larger, spatial context. Often referencing traditional techniques and re-framing them in the contemporary context, Loy’s work builds on heritage in experimental ways.
