Kaylee Lim

Kaylee Lim explores the intersections of race, diaspora, and belonging in Australia through humour, mimicry, and material transformation. Working across sculpture, installation, and painting, Kaylee explores how Asian cultural iconography carries layered meanings that are shaped by colonial histories and racialised perception. Through repetition, mimicry, and exaggeration, Kaylee’s work transforms familiar cultural icons into sites of irony and resistance. Engaging with ideas of hybridity and cultural translation, her practice reflects on what it means to navigate in-between spaces, cultures, histories, and identities, while investigating how ‘Asianness’ is seen, consumed, and performed in Australia.
