Dana Goh

Dana Goh (b. 2001, Singapore) is a multidisciplinary textile artist based in London and Singapore. Her work draws inspiration from her surroundings, capturing the ephemeral beauty of soft, gentle moments—like the faint twinkle of a crystal on a keychain or the soft wind stirring a bouquet of flowers. Through her textile works, Goh transforms these fleeting experiences into tangible forms that celebrate serenity, lightness, and quiet wonder.

Central to Goh’s practice is the romanticization of the every day, reimagining subtle interactions with her environment as poetic narratives rendered in textiles. She incorporates a fairytale-like aesthetic, inspired by the gentle charm of stories filled with whimsy and reflections on childhood memories. These evoke the innocence and magic of seeing the world through fresh eyes, imbuing her work with a nostalgic yet imaginative touch. 

Drawing from the spirit of Impressionism, Goh uses light, colour, and texture to evoke the emotional resonance of transient moments. Pastel tones are integral to her work, mirroring the delicate beauty of these scenes and imbuing her pieces with an ethereal, dreamlike quality. Employing techniques such as hand-dyeing, tufting, weaving, and fabric manipulation, she crafts intricate, layered artworks that resonate with softness and tactility. Her creations invite physical engagement, encouraging viewers to interact with their textures and uncover the emotional depth hidden within their folds.

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) and a selected artist for the Emerging Woman Artist Award Art Prize.
