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.
