Magenta
Time to post some colours! I have been playing with colours those last few months and have enjoyed making them into shapes to make them interact and play together. You can see the result in the form of 4 collages in my Gallery
In these 4 works, I have been trying to use the collage as a 3-D medium, i.e. the pieces are not stuck flat onto each other, but hover each other to suggest depth.
Paper Beads Mobile
May and June have been busy with running workshops for nurses at SGH. The workshops were organised by Singhealth as part of their Art For Health program.
As part of the project, I have been documenting the workshops. We have been using paper and paints mostly and the workshops were all about exploring colour. Each workshop was only 2 hours long, and the idea was to make the participants make something they could bring back to their ward, learn a technique they could use again, pass on to the other nurses, and finally, make them participate in a large art display thet will be exhibted in the museum. Quite a heavy program.
The photograph above is the work-in-progress: a mobile made fom the paper beads contributed by the nurses and of golden paper circles. As more nurses provide me with beads, the mobile grows. The final piece is supposed to represent a large hanging cube.
I will update you on the diverse projects of the nurses (complete with resources to make again), as well as on the completed sculpture.
The Tennis Man
A view of things to come…
This little man was commissioned by my good friend Anita for her husband Phil’s birthday. This is the unfinished version, before it got personalised with text from the family. It is closely related to the little people and birds making their way into my studio before all flocking out for their big show in June. Stay tuned.
