Amber Khan

Amber is an artist from Honolulu, Hawaii. Her practice explores philosophies around forms of life and living, spatiotemporal identities, nonlinear realities, cultural production, and the natural world. Khan considers herself, primarily a sculptor with a mixed-media approach.

Khan grew up in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, which built an internal stacked landscape within her sense of identity. This liminal sense of the in between drew her to practice to explore the landcsape we all carry within, of belonging and place. As the child of an American mother and immigrant Pakistani father, is in an environment of active realization and contradictions. Khan is interested in our hybrid experience of identity, of how we belong to place and to each other in a multitude of ways; and how each of us develops our own perspective by synthesizing a myriad influences. Khan sees the natural world as one influence all of us share—a connecting point for our individual and collective histories.

Khan received her BA in Journalism from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu, Hawaii, and her MFA in Sculpture from London Metropolitan University in London, England. Khan’s work has been featured in both regional and international exhibitions including Iceland’s Fresh Winds International Art Biennale, the Cyprus College of Art in Paphos, Cyprus, London, England, and Honolulu, Hawaii. Khan lives and works in Honolulu, Hawaii.
