UUENDY LAU (UU) – Miss Read

I am an illustrator, artist and zine-maker from Hong Kong and United Kingdom. My practice centres on narrative illustration and visual poetry. Nature serves as a profound source of inspiration for my work, which I see as a universal and inclusive subject that bridges languages, cultures and lifestyles.

My projects often incorporate overlooked natural resources found in local environments to tell unique and culturally-rooted stories. Through creative illustrations and storytelling, I explore the relationships between people, their communities and the surrounding landscape. I also seek to elevate seemingly mundane elements and invite viewers to pause, reflect and (re)connect with the world around them in meaningful and thoughtful ways with art-zines and alternative reading materials.
