Isla Ip Ferrer is an Aotearoa-born Chinese artist whose practice explores dual identity and the in-between space where memory and self converge. Working with clay, she creates layered, hand-formed pieces that hold the weight of displacement and reflect the intersections of her Aotearoa and Chinese heritage.

Her work engages with cultural hybridity, memory, and the impact of place and lived experience. Isla traces how identity is shaped through fragmentation and repair, revealing both fragility and resilience, and the tension of belonging across.
