A few weeks ago I received a lovely email from writer and journalist Uta Weigelt, who was interested in my installation artworks made with Saga seeds, the bright red seeds of the Saga (Adenanthera) tree found in SouthEast Asia, which symbolise love, nostalgia, and longing.

Uta has been investigating the meaning behind these seeds, what they mean culturally, historically and more recently artistically. Her article covers artists who have been inspired by these seeds over the years, and features my Singapore based installation from 2013, ‘Pass It On’, my artwork ‘6000 Moments’ which was shown in London in 2015, and my Bija Seed project which is ongoing to this day, with saga seeds coming with me on journeys around the world.
