Tiffany Law is a Hong Kong visual artist based on the unceded, ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Nations. Her work in drawing and printmaking creates personal archives that reflect loss and existence, focusing on how grief can resist standardised temporal structures. Through mark-making, she pushes the boundaries of materiality to externalise the self and engage with time as shaped by labour, pain and embodied gestures.
Law holds an MFA from the University of British Columbia and has exhibited her work in Hong Kong, Canada, and Germany. She has received support from the Audain Foundation (2023) and the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (2021) for her artistic research and practice.

Caitlin ffrench is a Canadian artist working with wildcrafted pigments from within the landbases she visits. She gathers discarded stones, bricks, and other waste to grind into useable pigments to make paint, and she gathers or cultivates plants to dye fabric and fibre. She paints with wildcrafted pigments as a way to find the connections between place and memory. Caitlin examines the anthropogenic connections between disappearing landscapes and the idea of solistalgia, or grief for the dying world. Her work explores parallels between her grief for the loss of landscapes and her grief for her body being disabled by multiple sclerosis.
