Cuboids, MMIX – MMX is broadly adopting a minimalist approach. Symbolically, it encapsulates the day-to-day international issues, be it political or economical, past or present events.
Through the kaleidoscope of those intricate East and West interactions, it is intended to aspire to a virtual melting pot of lessons. From conflicts, which had taken place due to blatant misunderstandings etc., consequently, the materials used and the various images and textual displays suggest different cultures and imply specific metaphorical representations.
As you can see, this 3-D sculpture is put together from handmade brick-like unit components made of the Financial Times and Chinese newspapers. All artificial renderings such as painting and carving etc have been ruled out. The sculpture is presented on the floor to give the ‘theatrical’ feel.
This is what I presented at my Fine Art Degree Show 2010:
I wish to make this installation bigger and develop it more to raise more awareness to the viewer and create a bigger impact.
Wall of China Project
I would like to appeal to everyone that I need to collect as many different newspapers in different languages as possible about the news in China - be it good or bad. I am going to make paper bricks out of it. This is going to be my final year MFA project in 2012. Please when ever you see news regarding China in the newspaper, cut the head line page and the relevant page(s) to me. If you can keep on collecting for a certain period until you have a reasonable amount, please post them to me and I am quite happy to reimburse the postage.
