She holds a MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art (2025), and a BA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins (2024). She practices around sculptures, and mixed media installations exploring the intersections of labour and automation within capitalism and post-capitalist structures.\u003cbr\u003eHer work has been exhibited at Copeland Gallery, Candid Arts Trust, RuptureXibit, London Art Services, Safehouse1, Goldsmiths University of London, Notting Hill Arts Club, Royal College of Art, Central Saint Martins.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"0-1-0","title":"0 - - - 1 - - - 0","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis work explores the analogue as a site of friction within a\u003cbr\u003edigitized economy. The exhibition argues that digital systems\u003cbr\u003eeliminate ambiguity; in response, 0 - - - 1 - - - 0 presents a\u003cbr\u003emechanical loop that refuses to resolve. By automating the\u003cbr\u003eshoeshine box, a symbol of visceral, manual trade, the piece\u003cbr\u003ecreates an uncomfortable space between human presence and\u003cbr\u003erobotic absence.\u003cbr\u003eThe concealed actuators and metallic wooden hands simulate\u003cbr\u003ea gesture of care that is rendered cold by automation. This\u003cbr\u003euncanny motion exposes what the digital cannot compute: the\u003cbr\u003edignity and specific weight of physical labour. Rather than\u003cbr\u003eoffering the precision of a digital solution, the artwork lingers\u003cbr\u003eon the absurdity of the \"shine-dirty-shine\" cycle. It functions as\u003cbr\u003ea generative mode of resistance, forcing the viewer to witness\u003cbr\u003ethe tangible, repetitive effort that modern systems seek to\u003cbr\u003erender invisible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louise Wan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57187112124798,"sku":"HC1105","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/files\/Screenshot_2026-03-30_at_16.56.23.png?v=1774886191"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/collections\/Screenshot_2026-03-16_at_14.00.19_3e5ba3d0-f68e-4415-96d5-d8b78fa93332.png?v=1773682867","url":"https:\/\/hyphacurates.com\/collections\/louise-wan.oembed","provider":"Hypha Curates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
