Cheong See Min (b. 1994, Johor) is a multidisciplinary artist currently practising between Malaysia and Taiwan. See Min's practice interrogates the relationship between human nature and the tropics. She considers weaving an act of communication that mediates between the past and present. Informed by social behavioural observations made during her international travel and residency experiences, See Min's textile works seek to reflect on the boundaries of life, employing tactile materials in an attempt to embody different layers of spatial and experiential narratives.
See Min holds her BA in Fine Art from Tunghai University and an MA from Tainan National University of Art, Taiwan. She was awarded second runner up for the Nando's Art Initiative (2017), shortlisted for Bakat Muda Sezaman Young Contemporaries (2019) and the International Biennale Exhibition of Micro Textile Art in Scythia, Ukraine (2021). Her works have been shown in galleries and art fairs in Malaysia, Taiwan, Bangkok and Ukraine. Recent residencies include Islands Art Park (Taichung, Taiwan, 2021), Rimbun Dahan (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2022), and Gasworks (London, United Kingdom, 2023).
