Scarlett Yang is an artist whose practice exists at the intersection of ecological narrative, material intelligence, and technological speculation. Educated in both art and engineering at Central Saint Martins, the Royal College of Art, and Imperial College London, she brings a hybrid perspective to her practice.

Working across sculpture, installation, and time-based media, Yang investigates the poetics of transformation: how matter, identity, and systems are shaped by environmental conditions and digital generative processes. Her research-led approach explores themes of entropy, mutation, and adaptation.

Yang is also an experienced innovation consultant, affiliated with the UK Design Council.

She has received multiple awards, including the LVMH Green Trail Award and Rolls Royce MUSE Art Program. Exhibitions include the V&A Museum, Christie’s, Somerset House, Center for Heritage, Arts and Textiles, and the London Design Biennale.
