Margeaux Lim is an artist with an environmental agenda who aims to bridge the gap between humans and the environment, addressing the disconnect caused by our anthropocentric culture. By working with found objects, natural iconography, and symbiotic cycles, she creates immersive and ephemeral installations that engage the senses. Lim’s work is not merely observational; it speculates on kinetic energy and relationships among various forms of life, both macro and micro.
She explores the ecology of human and non-human relationships through the study of growing organisms, flowing water, and the juxtaposition of natural and industrial materials. These elements become collaborators, producing new events and encounters that result in a continuous orchestra of art taking root. Her work highlights the regenerative abilities of nature, prompting a reevaluation of how humans engage in this ongoing cycle—an effort to restore ecocentrism. Lim believes that when we begin to view life less as a hierarchy and more horizontal, we can start to work with nature rather than against it.
Lim graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP), where she focused on installation and ceramics. She has participated in numerous residencies and received several awards, including Treasure Hill Artist Village Taipei, Starworks AIR, Odyssey ClayWorks AIR, The Steel Yard AIR, the Society of Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD) Award in 2022, the Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture award in 2021/2022, the Emerging Artists Exhibition at Summerfair 2021, and contributions to the DAAP National Conference on the Beginning Design Students (NCBDS) in 2019.
