Ahmoy William Lau is a Chinese knot artist based and raised in Dᶻidᶻəlalič / crossing over place / Seattle. His work is informed by his ancestors, who worked on ships in the Pacific northwest and in laundromats and restaurants in Chinese American communities. Ahmoy taught himself how to tie Chinese knots, drawing from his family’s knowledge of sewing. His largest art project, Tacoma Method Memorial Knot, debuted at ARTS at King Street Station in May 2025, where he tied 500 knots as performance art. His art has been exhibited in the NYC Jewelry Week, the Fishbowl gallery, and Queer Metalsmiths online exhibitions. His work has also been published in the Enbyparty Zine, Tteoks to Watch Out For, and the Seattle Pride Magazine. He has taught knot tying classes with the Henry Art Gallery, the Wing Luke Museum, Reclaim Clay Collective, and others. He was a recipient of the Edwin T Pratt Scholarship for Artists of Color at Pratt Fine Arts Center, where he learned welding and glassblowing. He is motivated to create art that reveals what has been hidden throughout history– including the history of queer and transgender Asian Americans, and the labor of migrant workers.
