Oriana Catton

Oriana Catton (b. 1995) is an emerging contemporary artist born and raised in Hong Kong and based in London. They have recently completed an MA at the Royal College of Art in Jewellery & Metal, and was recently nominated for the New Blood Art Emerging Art Prize 2024. Catton received their BA in Fine Art from Vassar College (USA) with a focus in installation, sculpture, and performance. Over the past few years Catton transitioned their large-scale and performance practice towards jewellery, completing intensive programs at the Rhode Island School of Design (USA) and Hatton Jewellery Institute (Hong Kong). Their current practice innovatively bridges the gap between the fine art and applied art disciplines, merging jewellery and performance art to poetically reinterpret what jewellery can be. Their interdisciplinary practice spans performance, jewellery, installation, moving image, sculpture, and sound. Catton’s current practice navigates the interplay of meaning between spatial, bodily, and geographical borders. Borders are embodied, stretched, crossed, broken… at times used to contain and exclude while at others, engaged to establish a sense of safety and protection. Intersecting the personal and the political, their work combines expressive jewellery objects with performance to craft intimate yet confronting moments, questioning what it means to belong within the space of one’s own body and home. Rooted in feminist, queer and postcolonial theory, Catton’s practice utilises autoethnographic and embodied research methodologies to interrogate intersectional, layered narratives. Their personal experiences of migration, trauma, and queer identity are imbued into their work, resonating deeply with themselves and within contemporary discourse. Catton integrates a performative movement vocabulary with metalwork, traditional silversmithing and meticulous hand-processing techniques to explore notions of belonging—within the body, nations, culture, gender and social constructs. Their work seeks to quietly hold the audience's gaze and invoke compassion and solidarity in the viewer.
