Cheong See Min
Cheong See Min (born Malaysia, 1994) is a multidisciplinary artist currently practicing between Malaysia and Taiwan. Cheong See Min’s practice interrogates the relationship between nature and humans. Her method combines fiber, weaving, sculpture and installation to create the works grounded in nature and history, and considers weaving an act of communication that mediates between the past and present.
Her recent practice is informed by research – both archival as well as anecdotal – into the colonial history of plantations in Malaysia, and the cost of sustaining the production and export of commercial crops from Peninsula Malaysia to England.
See Min holds her BA in Fine Art from Tunghai University and an MA from Tainan National University of Art, Taiwan. She was shortlisted for Bakat Muda Sezaman Young Contemporaries (2019) and the International Biennale Exhibition of Micro Textile Art Scythia, Ukraine (2021). Her works have been shown in galleries and art fairs in Malaysia, Singapore, Bangkok, Taiwan, Ukraine and Manchester. Recent residencies include Islands Art Park (Taichung, Taiwan, 2021), Rimbun Dahan (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2022), Gasworks (London, United Kingdom, 202
