Artist Yim Yen Sum uses fabric and embroidery to create works that reflect on the rapidly-disappearing historical buildings in Malaysia. The intricacy of the work and their delicate appearance evoke thoughts of impermanence and memory. We speak to Yen Sum and gallery director Lim Wei-Ling, about the artist’s latest exhibition: “The Further You Stand, the Clearer You See”.
