Tapestry Project
It is a while since I have used my blog but a new project is starting and I hope to collaborate with West Dean Tapestry Studio and the team on the Jalan Kayu Trail Blog in Singapore and so I would like to initiate an open dialogue for the development of ideas.
To introduce my work. I am a painter who works with ideas of personal and cultural memory. My previous work is documented below. I wanted to think about aspects of my childhood in Singapore. I remeber the vibrancy of Singapore as a six year old child when visiting markets/botanic gardens/architecture and the diversity and richness of the people. This was in stark contrast to the "Little England" of Seletar Camp. I wanted to think about the cultural separation at the butt end of the colonial presence in Singapore and and how I could address this in a series of work.
How would I do this? It was over 40 years ago since I was there. I started to look through postings on the web and found a brilliant little blog on the History of Jalan Kayu and Seletar Camp.
