Cheryl Louise Yip (b. 1998) is a visual artist based in Singapore.
She uses the medium of photography and moving images in her exploration on the concept of fundamental human experiences such as grief, memory, rituals, and aspects of consciousness. Informed by lived experiences while confronting universal truths, her works attempt to visualise the non-material using a conceptual approach. Drawing emphasis on the photographic object, process and encounter, she explores the boundaries of a primitive, yet futuristic vision of places and people. Her recent projects exist at the merger of traditional and contemporary photography. By exploring modern ideas and imagery with historic and/or manipulated traditional processes, she addresses the ideas of time, memory, and space.
Cheryl holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and Digital Imaging, with a minor in Art History at the School of Art, Design and Media (NTU).
