fml (b. 1964, Kuala Lumpur) was a performer for over 20 years, but by unfortunate circumstance found herself making art instead. To sustain herself she was also a waitress, a cleaner and a shopgirl. She makes her art by expressing theatrical scripts or characters, tales, and injustices through varied materials that include paper, textiles, wood, and more. As she works, she often plays all the characters she creates in the process.
She has had four solo exhibitions to date, the most recent of which being 10,000 Mosquito Hearts, curated by Sharon Chin, at OUR ArtProjects, Kuala Lumpur, in 2019. Since then, she has been featured in the group shows Asynchronicity at Charim Schleifmühlgasse, Vienna, Austria, in 2022, and Fracture/Fiction: Selections from the ILHAM Collection at ILHAM Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, in 2019.
She lives still. In Penang.
