Interviewing interdisciplinary artist Pei-Chi Lee!

Wed, 15 Feb 2023 08:00:50 GMT

Today we are pleased to share with you a brilliant discussion we had with the fabulous artist Pei-Chi Lee in her studio at Batch Studio in Hackney. Pei-Chi is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the relationship between play and well-being, looking particularly at the public sphere. She graduated from the RCA in 2019 and has worked since as an installation artist, design researcher, and illustrator, based between UK and Taiwan.

We met Pei-Chi Lee last year when we exhibited during London Craft week with the Soft collective and have been admirers of her work since then! This episode is so open and honest, and a great insight into the life of a young emerging artist with great tips and advice along the way.
