ARTIST STATEMENT

“Sehari selembar benang, lama-lama menjadi kain”, it starts with a single yarn, then turns into a
beautiful fabric with intricate designs, wonderful patterns, and perfect colors. This positive connotation reflects how important knowledge and experience, in complementing our landscape of lives.

Or
Let’s take pride in our Malaysian heritage and make the idea of a Malaysian Textile, such as batik and songket industry with an international presence a reality.

Personal Statement

My creative practices are informed by my surroundings. I am interested with matters concerning women especially the roles they assume in life. These roles are interconnected with personal spaces which sometimes coincide. Objects and activities related to these spaces become subjects in my art practice. I am also intrigued with materiality of acrylic pigment and floral forms which both bear their own visual seduction. I often marry these beguiling characteristics strategically and randomly.

Personal Statement

“My research and studio practice now take a view on the idea of landscape. Often referencing Euclidian idea and concept of space as its base, my studio practice explores the varying relationship between real space, landscape and illusion. Having engaged subjects such as screen culture, Malay word carving and Asian visual culture, my work try to play and at the same time evoke the idea of reality and illusion in landscape”
