The exhibition Look Up brings together artworks that question our relationship with nature, and will feature in the Singapore Heritage Festival this year. My artworks are part of the River Series which explores the old and new paths of rivers as well as the fluid nature of ink, tides and time.

I will be presenting my artwork curated by Intersections Gallery, alongside Hélène Le Chatelier, Jason Lim, Nann Nann, Melisa Teo. This exhibition opens on the 22nd April 2022 and closes September 2022.

The Rivers Series

This series of artworks are part of the Intersection body of works, a collaboration between visual artist Nicola Anthony & poet Marc Nair which explores unspoken histories in Yangon, London, and Singapore. Waterways were a feature of each city that has shaped them geographically, physically and historically. 

Journeying the Thames, Yangon River, and Rochor River-turned-Canal the artists found the vestiges of colonial influence, the relentless march of capitalism, and the stubborn refusal of history to disappear. 

These artworks reflect the old and new paths of rivers as well as the fluid nature of ink, tides and time. When we see a river on a map we know that it has changed course during its history, often shaped by man’s intervention.
