Liquified
Many Worlds at a Glance, Many Worlds All At Once
LASALLE 40th Anniversary exhibition
ICAS Gallery 1, Lasalle College of the Arts, Singapore
09 Nov - 14 Dec 2024
Liquified, as its name suggests, is a sculptural paper tapestry that is draped to evoke a sense of fluidity and lightness, and to create curiosity about the materiality of the work. It is constructed through interlocking modular pieces of paper, each fashioned from a repeated origami square. Using gradient gold vellum paper, she assembles each unit to form a large-scale, malleable sculpture that makes use of the paper’s properties to diffuse and reflect light and shadow within the space. The act of connecting the modular pieces becomes a kind of weave — a metaphor for individual parts coming together to create something larger and more compelling in scale and form.
​
This process echoes her observations of women’s work in quilt-making or tapestry, where smaller elements are made and joined through care, dedication, and time to form larger, functional pieces that offer both ornamentation and protection in domestic spaces.
​
Liquified has been shown in SEAFocus Art fair Jan 2023 and in a minor parallax in Oct 2023 and is shown at Lasalle's 40th anniversary exhibition, Many Worlds at a Glance, Many Worlds all at once, curated by John Tung.
