Notes
'Lost' as a topic of interest, has been an on-going project for me - lost identity, lost knowledge, lost spaces, lost as found, lost narratives, the forgotten/displacement/invisible as lost.
Some of my 'lost' projects include:
- Lost heritage ('The Lost Peranakan Re-imagined' -'Peranakan Whispers', 'Chukop', 'Ghost Embroidery', 'Light Conversation', 'Absent Bodies', 'Chinese But Not Chinese')
- Lost attention (on education, such as 'Pulling Grass', 'Breathing Space', nature-related works such as 'Secret Visibility', 'Transparent Voices', 'Ancient Equipoise', 'Expanding Stones', 'The Listener', collaborative projects such as 'Got Your Name Or Not', and 'Texting Red and Green').
- Lost spaces (The 'Sungei Market Art Project', developed by The Artists Company, and collaborative project such as the 'Terra Fermata' soil project ).
The Lost Peranakan Project focuses on 'lost', soon to be forgotten materials from the Peranakan community in the Southeast Asia.
Through practice-led methodology, I explored the ideas of absence, memories, and obsolescence as I reimagined and reinterpreted selected objects, with the hope to continue their legacies today's world. I believe that every object we create, own, or use, inevitably reflect aspects of human thoughts, desires and aspirations. It was interesting to see how some materials/ objects have resisted change, or have been modified and shaped by changing attitudes and beliefs over time, while others have faded or are silently fading into the background.
