Anna Xiaoyin Luo is a Chinese interdisciplinary fibre artist in Tkaronto (Toronto). She is interested in the collaborative potential of craft and how it emerges as an antidote for crafting belongings in a world of flux and isolation. Her current works explore the role of materiality and tactility in contemporary art by reutilizing discarded fibre materials in papermaking, kami-ito making, and weaving practices. Luo’s practice focuses on the physical engagement with natural materials and the slow process in craft practice as a vital methodological approach for exploring and expressing the complexities caused by Solastalgia. She previously received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking and Publication at OCAD University. Recently, she conducted her material research in Vancouver, BC, which is on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, including the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Sel̓íl̓witulh (Squamish) and (Tsleil-Waututh) nations. She also holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Emily Carr University. Luo became an Artist-in-Residence at Harbourfront Centre’s Craft & Design Studio (Textiles) in 2024.
