Sarita Ibnoe (b. 1989), raised in Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur, is a multidisciplinary artist. After completing her BA in Illustration from Middlesex University, London, she began her artistic career as a graphic designer and an illustrator and later found mixed media as well as weaving. Weaving is now her main activity as she creates wearable products as well as artworks.

Her approaches in the art are focused on the rebuilding of memories, placing moments of her life under microscopic lenses as well as connecting little pieces of her life together while placing the lives of others in line with hers. As an artist who is constantly trying to connect the dots, Sarita found the joy of being in journeys and  being in-between places. For her, the medium weaving represents the mindful action of a journey; going in and out, back and forth.

She uses various mediums and materials in her creation and relies on what she already has including the body, nature and waste. Sarita has been exploring weaving for the last six years and with weaving, she combines it with other things resulting in performative and participatory artwork.
