Art is a splendor that adds glitter to one’s life. Art continues and will always be the yardstick where the greatness of a certain race is measured. It is now my role as an Art educator to spread this greatness around and hope that the upcoming generation be steps ahead.

Zen, WoodCraving Print

The printworks project that i did was on the theme of leaves. Experimenting with various forms of printmaking techniques was the objective to this project. It was interesting to see how different printmaking techniques produced varied end products. The technique that i enjoyed the most was woodcraving and monoprint.

YEAR OF WORK : 2005

MEDIUM : Mobile Sculpture

TITLE OF WORK : BreakAway

DIMENSION : 600mm by 1200mm

ARTIST STATEMENT :

The movement of people as time passes by has always intrigued me. Here yet again is another point in my life where once again a group of people who have come together goes their separate ways. To commemorate this movement I have decided to create a mobile sculpture to remind me of 29 unique individuals who came together and somewhat left an impression in my journey of life.
