Dana Goh (b. 2001, Singapore) is a multidisciplinary artist based in London, working primarily through textiles. Her practice explores the feeling of gazing into a world just beyond reach—a longing for something nostalgic and familiar, yet ultimately unreal. She draws on memory, emotion, and imagined landscapes to transform ordinary moments into scenes that feel cinematic, romantic, and suspended in time.

​

Goh’s work is deeply influenced by the sensibilities of shoujo (少女), embracing a visual language shaped by softness, femininity, and emotional nuance. Through delicate imagery and layered aesthetics, she captures the wonder and vulnerability of a feminine perspective, one that values introspection and sensitivity.

​

Her compositions often explore the in-between spaces where perception and memory blur, where emotions are felt more than understood. Working with tactile materials and gentle gestures, she leans into the poetic potential of romanticisation.

Immersed in this process, her art becomes a personal form of escapism and gentle delusion—a means of creating beauty out of longing. Rather than offering resolution, her works invite viewers to drift, to pause, and to sit within the ambiguity of what is almost known, almost remembered, and almost real.

 

A graduate of the Royal College of Art (2024), Goh has exhibited internationally in cities including London, New York, Vienna, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Liverpool, Shanghai, Singapore, and Seoul. She is a finalist for the VAO UK & International Emerging Artist Award 2024 (Young Artist), a selected artist for the Emerging Woman Artist Award Art Prize (2024) and longlisted for Aesthetica Art Prize (2025). Alongside her art practice, she is also the founder of Qloud Collective.
