Moments of Transformation: Alison Wing Yin Poon's 'A Constructed Home' at Tache
12 December 2025

"Situated in Fitzrovia, Tache's fifth show is distinctive and exceptional, reaffirming their fierce advocacy for undiscovered talent. Titled 'A Constructed Home', Poon’s exhibition explores the subtleties of mixed heritage and cultural authenticity. Drawing from her Chinese-Malaysian and English background, Poon’s diasporic experiences inspire her work, driven by the desire to “take ownership of these different cultural parts of myself”.

 

Synthesising two years of work, ‘A Constructed Home’ combines sculptures and etchings to offer a profound reflection on what defines ‘home’. Tache’s intimate space provides the ideal environment for Poon to deconstruct and reinterpret symbols of ‘home’, dividing the space into domestic and architectural realms."
