Artwork: Lifting Corners, 2002
Title: Lifting Corners
Medium: Charcoal on paper
Dimensions: 101 x 141cm (framed sizes)
Year: 2002
This was exhibited in my first solo exhibition activated C in 2002, and also in Unfamiliar Familiarity at FOST Gallery in 2009.
The drawing shows a corner of a Singapore public housing (HDB) lift from a top view. It takes reference from the old flat at Blk 1 Sembawang Road that I had lived from 1977 till 2004. It has since been demolished.
