Synopsis

Witty yet deeply contemplative, Manners Manners transforms the overlooked into the extraordinary. See Yee’s practice, rooted in architectural precision and a playful sensitivity to nature, breathes new life into fallen fronds and found plant forms.

 

With a touch of humour and a keen sense of materiality, she reconfigures these objects, allowing them to speak in ways both unexpected and familiar. Weaving together research, sketches, and installations, the exhibition gently balances structure and spontaneity—where urbanity meets the tropics, and where fleeting musings become moments of quiet wonder.

Things to Note:
