The Privilege of Being

Chewy Yap

In The Privilege of Being, Chewy Yap creates layered textile collages that shimmer with light and movement. Guided by intuition, she cuts, paints, and gilds her canvases in a process that mirrors meditation, each work a record of presence in the moment. Influenced by her family’s history in fabric and design, Yap transforms dress patterns from her childhood into abstract compositions that hold stillness and grace. Join us at Altro Mondo Creative Space for the artist reception on August 30th at 5PM to experience these luminous works in person, and perhaps take home a piece that reminds you to slow down and simply be.
