Contemporary artist Minstrel Kuik's works are often multi-layered when it comes to a subject's essence and details. Her new fabric assemblages are intricate but not flashy, grounded but not morose.

These 13 artworks at her solo show Memory Games For A House In Motion at Richard Koh Fine Art in Kuala Lumpur, have wooden sticks and frames serving as an anchor, upon which swatches of fabric, transferred photographic cut-outs and personal articles of clothing are carefully ironed, stitched and arranged.
