Monash Art, Design and Architecture Graduate Exhibition 2025

Emilyn Cheah is an abstract artist exploring the relationship between art and language, and art as language. Her artistic process highlights two paradoxical elements of the human experience: our intuition and desire for control. Like language, her work then utilises art as a reflection of her position and how she filters the world around us.
