SHAM Debe

岑愷怡

 

SHAM Debe, sculptor, Doctor of Philosophy candidate, part-time lecturer and board member of 1a space, was born in Hong Kong. She obtained her BA and MVA from the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University. Yale University and Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (New York) have awarded Sham the Yale-China Art Fellowship. The subject of her metaphorical site-specific sculptures and mix-media installations has grown out of exploring the origins of existence. Her works tap into the aesthetics of participatory art and the vocabulary of contemporary sculpture, inseparably connecting to the daily context of antique toys and urban street games. Sham has been invited to various local and international artist-in-residence programs and exhibitions, such as Lingnan University A.I.R., Tai Kwun A.I.R., New Haven International Festival of Arts & Ideas, Inside Burger Collection, etc. Her works are collected by institutions and private collections.
