Biography
Chong Wen Shan was born in Malaysia. Wen Shan’s topic of exploration in her art practice is about memories. She always wanted to preserve memories through creating them. The process of remembering and creating things out is a way to remind herself not to forget the precious memories. She is interested in making sculptures using different mediums, and mostly paper, as paper has similar characteristics with memories, they are both fragile, delicate, personal and precious.
Wen Shan has exhibited her works and participated in some volunteer activities in Singapore. She has interned as dragon kiln & pottery assistant at Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle in 2021, to help with the pottery workshops, dragon kiln firing, assisting artists for exhibition and pottery business.
