Siân (she/her) is a Wellington-based artist whose practice reflects her overlapping areas of interest and formal study: fine arts, philosophy and textiles. Her current work explores relationships of interconnectivity, and interdependence through colour, mark-making and structural props that hold drawings and sculptures together into life-like forms.

Her work has been commissioned for public art institutions, including Soft is Stronger than Hard at City Gallery Wellington, and The way you have held things for Christchurch Art Gallery, as well as for festivals, and by the Public Art Fund, Wellington. She has held artist residencies in Samoa at Tiapipata Arts Centre, and Shanthi Rd, India through the Asia New Zealand Foundation.

Born in Bristol in 1977, Siân graduated with an MFA with distinction from Massey University in 2010, has had numerous solo and groups shows, and works in Wellington New Zealand.
