Hoa Dung Clerget French-Vietnamese artist

Hoa Dung Clerget is a French Vietnamese artist with a multi disciplinary practise. Transforming every day objects into vessels of memory, meaning and emotion, her work reflects a different temporal experience. Having grown up in France in a Vietnamese family, Hoa Dung uses the family traditions embodied in domestic objects to construct her artistic language. It allows her to speak about cultural tensions that the diaspora encounters. Hoa Dung’s family’s unwritten history is passed down orally and through everyday objects. These domestic objects tell the stories of immigrant women who through their gestures build the link between two different cultures. Hoa Dung holds a BA Hons in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins and an MA in Painting from the Royal college of art. She also holds an MSc from Ecole Centrale de Lyon (major Applied Mathematics).
