The tiny white bits that this work is made out of are each the imprint or trace of my finger or thumb on wet paper pulp that is then allowed to dry. This process is repeated continuously, obsessively. The work is allowed to take on its own organic free flowing form. The repetitive, time consuming nature of creating the work became a contemplation on the experience of time itself. In the city we often think of time as linear, a way to progress on our plans from point A to point B. Our lives also seem linear-birth, growing up, maturity and death. But in nature time is often cyclical and repetitive- the seasons, the rhythm of day and night. Seeds sprout, plants grow to ultimately die, decay and provide nutrition to the next generation of sprouting seeds. In many traditions human lifetime is seen as part of the cycles of birth and rebirth taking on a cyclical, repetitive form. Our human projects and prevalent theories too in the long run disintegrate making way for new projects and thought forms. All that is constant is entropy. Yet there is a certain rhythm and order within the decay and disintegration.

Connections 2
One East Asia Gallery, Singapore

Reminiscent of corals under the sea, fungi growing on the barks of trees or blossoms in a forest, the densely packed sculptural forms are in fact traces of the artist's fingers. The humble ( and quintessentially urban) material of paper is worked slowly, one piece at a time, each layer created after the first has dried. This work is a meditation on interconnectedness and the unhurried processes of the natural world.
