This monograph documents the artist Chong Siew Ying's development and career from 1996 to 2008 with a long interview with the artists and plates of her works. It also includes a detailed profile of the artist. Chong Siew Ying was born in 1969 in post-Independence Malaysia to Chinese parents and studied fine arts in Paris, returning to Malaysia in 1998.
'While many artists would focus on the conflicts and uncertainties of such a position - being Chinese, and Chinese-educated, in multi-ethnic Malaysia, living a life literally and consciously split between East and West, Siew Ying builds on its positive aspects, binding diverse philosophies and experiences into a personal artistic vision, which has laid the grounds for the universality of her work and its appeal' - Beverly Yong (p.5).
