Newcomer artist Liew Sze Lin has a knack of turning unwanted fabric and grocery shop material like gunny sacks, paper, cardboard and mesh into abstract collages. She combines them in interesting ways, giving a shine to the ordinary.

To Liew, 31, however, her works are more than just "collages" on canvas. It also helps that her husband owns a grocery shop, which makes it convenient for her to source for art material.
