Amber Khan is an artist from Honolulu, Hawaii currently residing in London, England. Her work explores forms and figures of life and living, spatiotemporal identities, nonlinear realities, cultural production, and the natural world through sculpture and painting. Through the process of amalgamation and metamorphosis, she utilizes paper mâché, wood, joint-compound, fiber, paint, and natural objects to materialize her research. 

Khan’s childhood growing up in Honolulu, Hawai`i as a member of the non-indigenous population and outside of the conventional American experience has disoriented her sense of belonging and place. The paradoxical position places her work in an environment of active realization within reality. Khan is interested in projecting this hybrid experience of identity, of how we belong to place and to each other in a multitude of ways; and how each of us develops our own perspective by synthesizing a myriad influences. She sees the natural world as one influence all of us share—a connecting point for our individual and collective histories. Her recent work explores the boundaries surrounding a collective and holistic history while considering conventional restrictions that confine concepts of time. Khan hopes her work provides a comprehensive and ultimately deeper context for understanding our position within the natural world and our historical engagement with it and each other. 

Khan’s work has been featured in both regional and international exhibitions including Iceland, Cyprus, England, Croatia and Honolulu, Hawai`i. Khan lives and works in London, England.
