THU 30 | Battambang-born artist Yim Maline presents her new sculpture exhibition, Having a Hole or Empty Space Inside, in which she explores absences and the “façade of development.” Large and small-scale graphite drawings cover the walls, while a series of nine large, charcoal sculptures are dotted around the floor, each variations on a theme. The bleak-looking forms seem dead upon first sight, and yet upon closer examination, a thread of life – leaf or vine – weaves in and around the forms, giving them a certain sense of natural beauty, and the hope of regeneration. Maline’s abstract works are always thought-provoking, touching on various socio-political and personal themes, and leave you musing for days to come.
