Kara Inez (b. 1991) is a Malaysian artist who draws from her personal experiences to touch on issues surrounding the female body and mental health through mediums such as performance art and sculpture. She is known for the use of abject materials and silicone to create life-like grotesque bodily forms. Her works evoke the feeling of disgust in her audience as a means to challenge the social constructs set in place surrounding these suppressed topics. 

Kara is currently based in Melbourne, where she is pursuing her Master’s in Fine Arts. Previously, she was based in Singapore, where she received her Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from the Lasalle College of the Arts in 2019. Also in 2019, she was the recipient of the Winston Oh Travel Award, which enabled her to venture to Tirupati, South India, to carry out research on the hair trade. Her works have been exhibited locally and internationally in galleries and exhibition spaces such as the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, S.E.A. Focus (Singapore), Art Expo Malaysia, Gajah Gallery (Singapore), nATTA Gallery (Bangkok), and White Box (Kuala Lumpur). (M)othered Meat is her first solo exhibition.
