Yilun Li: Liminal Landscapes 

24th-27th Feburary, 2025 

Batsford Gallery presents Liminal Landscapes: A Space In Between, the debut solo exhibition of visual artist Yilun Li (Sasa). Running from 24th to 27th February 2025, the exhibition features a compelling body of work that explores the transformative potential of liminal spaces—those that exist between defined states such as the physical and the digital, the natural and the constructed, and the wearable and the sculptural. 

The exhibition showcases Li’s signature wearable art sculptures alongside newly created sculptural and installation works developed specifically for this exhibition. Li’s practice is rooted in the concept of liminality, a threshold space where transformation and renewal occur. Through intricate craftsmanship, she repurposes unconventional materials—including recycled plastics, heat-shrink sheets, and fishing lines—to create ethereal, tactile forms that challenge the boundaries between fashion and contemporary art. Her wearable pieces position the body as both canvas and landscape, inviting reflection on materiality, identity, and the spaces we inhabit. 

Liminal Landscapes offers audiences an opportunity to engage with the fluid, ever-evolving intersections of nature, memory, and material transformation, creating immersive environments that evoke both personal and collective narratives. 

About the artist: 

Born in 1995, London-based Chinese artist Yilun Li, also known as Sasa, redefines wearable art by blending everyday materials with precise craftsmanship. Her sculptural, three-dimensional pieces transcend function, fostering open-ended interpretations. Li’s work challenges the boundaries between art, design, and accessories, positioning wearable art as a medium for storytelling.
