Artist Statement

2005-04-26T05:32:00.000-07:00

"Light is all around us, surrounding us. We do not notice their existence till the moment the sun goes down or till the night came falling".
As an Art educator/ Art practioner every kind of media interest me but what capture most of me is photography, the capturing of light. Without light there is no photography...Light has fascinate me so much that I have not stop photography, be it as a hobby or a media to express myself, since the moment I have see "light".

This series of artwork which I call "Light painting" is an Experimental Art which uses photopapers as canvas and developer and fixer as the ink along with the help of light. Capturing the light, presenting the light to the audience.

The little things in life

The God-vernment

In Singapore, lots of issue are being controlled mainly by the government which leaves the citizens really not much choices but to "go along with the flow". In this combination of installation and performance art, I will pray using the usual praying tools "joss stick, candles etc." for tax free, pay increment for Civil Servant and etc. praying for a better life in Singapore, which signifies how Singaporean have not much control of their life. Having their life "manipulate" by the government, the God of Singapore.
