gutpunch daydream studio explores tensions that live within the human experience. Big, scary emotions tangling with soft wonder; messy, variegated greys that contain every colour and muddy the binary. Following the joy. Following the heartbreak. Following where attention and intention leads. Slow, purposeful, and delighting in curiosity.

The studio is proudly owned and operated by Kristi Wong, a queer, non-binary, neurodivergent person of Chinese-Malay descent 🥰 They design and handcraft chainmaille, textile, fibre, and paper goods in their small home studio in "New Westminster", on the traditional, unceded, and unsurrendered territories of Halq̓eméylem-speaking peoples on Coast Salish lands. Materials are locally sourced, thrifted, vintage, reclaimed, and/or diverted from landfill wherever possible. Packaging is often reused or repurposed.
