Rain Wu is a Taiwanese artist and architect based in London. Her work is conceptually driven and materialises in different forms and scales from drawing, sculpture, food performance to architectural installation. Her practice is driven by a sustained interest in our manifold relationships with nature - pursued through materials that are intentionally perishable: seawater, mycelium, wool, food.
Following the geographic, political, cosmological and microbial traces of living materials, her work investigates the interconnection between the consumption of food, digestion of cultures, charting of lands and recalling the myths.
She graduated from the Royal College of Art and University College London. Her work has been shown at the Sharjah (2017), Taipei (2016), London Design (2016) and Istanbul Design (2020) Biennales, as well as The Palestinian Museum, Hong-Gah Museum and Manar Abu Dhabi; with residencies at the Design Museum London, Fondation Thalie, Jan van Eyck and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
She is a lecturer at Goldsmiths University.
