To fiddle:
Influenced by the Surrealists’ exploration of the subconscious, I seek a heightened state of drawing-making that co-engages the physical and the instinctual.

Choon Lin and I built this work together.
It’s huge!

We are interested in examining the peripheral and the insignificant as a means of rebutting a certain dominant hierarchical value system.
Making do with “poor” materials and combining them together using roughly-tied knots, the work may evoke the crudely, yet much imaginatively and resourcefully built push-carts or vehicles used by old folks to scavenge for discarded goods, piles of old cardboard and empty drink cans in the streets of Singapore, just to make ends meet.
Our work celebrates the transformation of adversity into strength, a process most evident at our present times of declining economy, which embodies human creativity, invention and hardship emerging from the most straitening of circumstances.

This is a short preview clip.
Choon Lin and I tried living life on the road for a day.
It’s quite intense bringing the works in there and we were scolded so much.
We ran out of video-memory and didn’t manage to find a good spot.
I guess you have to fight for a space there.
