Jaime To (b. 1998) is a Chinese-Canadian artist based in London that works with traditional painting, illustration, and recently, with computational elements like Arduino and Unity. Her art practice explores storytelling, ghosts, dimensions, the concept of space and time, and the in-betweens. Utilizing her fine art background and computational skills, she creates narrative-driven snapshots of stories with playful illustrations, computational concepts and merges different mediums of art.
Her art practice aims to visualize and give forms to feelings; an attempt to illustrate and explain the unseen. It is an attempt to look into temporality and recognize the gaps and the ghosts that haunt our everydays. Instead of rejecting difficult emotions, she gives form to them and acknowledges that they dwell in our own space. She presents these complicated feelings as a ghostly matter with a sense of companionship and embraces it as part of us and our surroundings. To let the canvas be a place for them to stay and rest.
She graduated from Goldsmiths, University of London for BA (Hons) Fine Art and History of Art (2016 - 2020) and is currently pursuing MA Computational Arts (2022 - 2023).
