Tiffany Loy is an emerging Singaporean textile artist whose practice is defined by both experimental technique and material complexity. Trained in industrial design in Singapore and textile-weaving in Kyoto, Loy employs an investigative approach to weaving, to materiality and to art-making more broadly. Loy’s practice explores relationships between fundamental elements such as colour, structure, and the invisible force in weaving – tension. She graduated from the Royal College of Art, London, with an MA in Textiles in 2020, specialising in weaving, and was a recipient of the DesignSingapore Scholarship.

About
Tiffany Loy
Biography
Tiffany Loy is an emerging Singaporean textile artist whose practice is defined by both experimental technique and material complexity. Trained in industrial design in Singapore and textile-weaving in Kyoto, Loy employs an investigative approach to weaving, to materiality and to art-making more broadly. Loy’s practice explores relationships between fundamental elements such as colour, structure, and the invisible force in weaving – tension.
Exploring both the limitations and poetic potential of tension in threads, Loy is drawn to the ways that the human eye perceives the depth and volume of colour at both the scale of a single thread and that of a larger woven work. Loy considers weaving as lines in, within and around space with the power to augment perception. Her densely woven and intricate abstract sculptures invite viewers to consider textile not as a surface but lines that penetrate space and observe limits of what can be observable.
Since 2014, Loy’s works have been exhibited internationally, including Singapore Art Museum, Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art, La Triennale di Milano, Milan Design Week and Dubai Art Week. She graduated from the Royal College of Art, London, with an MA in Textiles in 2020, specialising in weaving, and was a recipient of the DesignSingapore Scholarship.
