A figure watches me from the corner of my eye. I beckon it to sit before me, – tell me your woes. Faced with a reflection of myself, I realise we are no different. Within the Shadows is an interaction installation that explores of the afterlife and challenges traditional perceptions of ghosts as mere supernatural entities. By delving into symbolism of shadows, the artwork invites participants to reconsider these enigmatic figures as individuals with unique stories and experiences. The interactive elements, including projection and audio, encourage active listening and reflection, allowing audiences to connect with deeper themes on the nature of existence and the strength of relational bonds formed with one another. Through this exploration, Within the Shadows aims to evoke empathy, introspection, and a newfound appreciation for the complexities of the human experience, both in life and beyond. Kampung Halloween is a 8-day programme (25 Oct - 3rd Nov 2024) commissioned by the National Arts Council, organised by PlayPan and directed by Dr. Woo Yen Yen for the Arts Resource Hub. <img width="2217" height="1478" width_o="2217" height_o="1478" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/803d83e958399159dce48c0ca1b1ba86958c415b508cead0a078b2f6588de2e3/IMG_2353.JPG" data-mid="221909871" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/803d83e958399159dce48c0ca1b1ba86958c415b508cead0a078b2f6588de2e3/IMG_2353.JPG" /> <img width="1618" height="1078" width_o="1618" height_o="1078" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c7b37d18ec7d9d14cfbf87c53b026ddafb87164a7a99e09e21450e775dfe6ba1/IMG_2354.JPG" data-mid="221909872" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c7b37d18ec7d9d14cfbf87c53b026ddafb87164a7a99e09e21450e775dfe6ba1/IMG_2354.JPG" /> <img width="2193" height="1523" width_o="2193" height_o="1523" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c14ec58e5c97da68505d3c7f778111bf64e5620630fa549c61c2034b3b4fd780/IMG_2356.JPG" data-mid="221909874" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c14ec58e5c97da68505d3c7f778111bf64e5620630fa549c61c2034b3b4fd780/IMG_2356.JPG" /> <img width="3078" height="2052" width_o="3078" height_o="2052" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8e667033fcb5a579ee78bb816884cc8ae9128d6217bc0cb1559b1d101131d9fb/IMG_2357.jpg" data-mid="221909875" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8e667033fcb5a579ee78bb816884cc8ae9128d6217bc0cb1559b1d101131d9fb/IMG_2357.jpg" /> <img width="2400" height="1600" width_o="2400" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab5f7f62c33e4b22283962d8d9244a149ad394e23523bf01b230630f125a0dcc/IMG_2355.JPG" data-mid="221909873" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ab5f7f62c33e4b22283962d8d9244a149ad394e23523bf01b230630f125a0dcc/IMG_2355.JPG" /> ProcessOn the Making of the Work Audio Submission Collection An open call was&nbsp; posted online prior to the exhibition, prompting participants to respond to one of the prompts below through an anonymous audio submission. If you could communicate with a loved one who has passed away, what would you say? Share a message or wish for those who come after you.What is the one thing that would keep you tethered to Earth, preventing you from moving on to the afterlife?The audio will be collected and to be used as raw material for the interactive installation. The audio files will then be filtered, distorted and compiled to be used in various portions of the work. The Experience Upon encountering the installation from afar, the participant will hear distorted sounds, as if someone attempting to communicate to them. As the participant draws closer to the table set-up, they are invited to sit down to listen to the shadow that sits across them. As they sit down, a speaker nearby plays the true audio files that have been submitted through the open call. The participant then listens through the clear audio submissions and messages conveyed. https://clariceng.com/Stories-of-Redhill Thu, 22 Aug 2024 15:25:46 +0000 Clarice Ng https://clariceng.com/Stories-of-Redhill <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/794f2910e0650fa8ba26637e494d6f10ba30986541c784cab3ad19ca0345ed02/IMG_9936.JPG" data-mid="216801094" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/794f2910e0650fa8ba26637e494d6f10ba30986541c784cab3ad19ca0345ed02/IMG_9936.JPG" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b053db9dc1587eb3c862686c877b53e309bf24caf438a59feb32315eba6c672/IMG_9938.JPG" data-mid="216801096" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b053db9dc1587eb3c862686c877b53e309bf24caf438a59feb32315eba6c672/IMG_9938.JPG" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/891efdfab804243ef082ab366fd515d6507c106fd9a3d7ee2d6455c8921ea871/IMG_9930.jpg" data-mid="216801093" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/891efdfab804243ef082ab366fd515d6507c106fd9a3d7ee2d6455c8921ea871/IMG_9930.jpg" /> Stories of Redhill2024Interactive Experiential Installation Lutheran Community Care Services (LCCS) 9 June 2024, 10 – 4PM In quiet corners, memories reside.A world within a room,each object speaks as a silent guide. In a small, intimate space, the intricacies of the community of Redhill’s rental flats unfolds. A curated collection of objects, each a silent storyteller, invites visitors to touch and listen. As fingers brush against an object, a voice emerges, weaving a tapestry of Redhill's tales. The stories represent the heartbeat of a community – stories of care, routine and cherished memories. The installation, a culmination of interviews, sounds and sights, seeks to uncover the hidden narratives that lie beneath the surface of everyday objects. Through this immersive experience, visitors are invited to reflect on their own journeys in Redhill. The installation becomes a catalyst for personal exploration and shared experiences. As visitors listen to the stories of others, they may find echoes of their own lives, connecting them to the broader community in a more profound way. The installation is not merely a showcase but a living, breathing entity, evolving with each resident’s contribution – a testament to the power of storytelling and the uniquely tight knit spirit of Redhill. This experiential installation was made possible with the collaboration of Lutheran Community Care Services (LCCS) and the residents of rental flats in Redhill who have shared their stories, time and memories with us. <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365"

Ayer Square 10 – 13 Nov 2022, 12 – 6PMPhotography by Marcus Chow A familiar tune plays in the distance, unable to identify its source – you lean in. A wave of nostalgia pulls you closer. You find yourself transported to a past life. Set in a living room from the past, a Rediffusion set broadcasts familiar programmes throughout the day, reliving its role as a companion to the worker and the homemaker, the young and the old. It alludes to a time when the arts was woven into the fabric of our daily lives and served as a locus around which communities would gather. When passers-by listen to the Rediffusion broadcasts, they are transported to a different time and space. For the curious guest, entering the living room takes them into the life of an imagined household where they would engage in intimate encounters.

In gazing inward to our instinctive physical sensations, expressions and reactions, we are able to nurture a deeper connection and understanding of our subconscious state of mind. Participants are invited to engage in conversation by listening to the pre-recorded audio on the cassette tape, to which they can record their own voice notes in response.

It offers a perspective through an intimate, inward and tender lens in reconnecting with our internal thoughts, domestic lives and immediate communities. In the context of heightened restrictions being integrated into our interactions with the physical and social world, this work brings to light the endless possibilities and experiences that can be accessed by simply a change of perception or piqued curiosity. By utilising the resources within our immediate surroundings and tapping into the intangible spaces that exist within us — of memories, perception, thought and ideas — we are able to gain new insights into how we view the everyday.

(an echo)2020Interactive Sound Piece 27 responses I’m Listening... (an echo) is an interactive sound piece that emulates the act of confiding and listening through a text and sound based dialogue. Participants are invited to send in their introspections and late night thoughts, to which the artist will respond with a simple, personalised melody. This work facilitates thoughts, feelings and concerns that are collectively being experienced by a range of participants and explores the use of sound as language in communicating acknowledgement, comfort and assurance. The Artist’s sound response is likened to an ‘echo’ informed by the act of deep listening, matching the energy of the participant’s text as an attempt to acknowledge, comfort and assure the them. Similar to this exchange, an echo only exists if one first chooses to verbalise their thoughts, it bounces back based on the nature of the environment (the listener) it was released in.

A girl, running on my mind all day and night. depths of despair and worthlessness 1/2 years ago, I was so stressed that I couldn’t make money off my art. I felt that I wasn’t good enough. So I took a long break from art. Right now, I think I’m happy with my decision to take a break. I have new perspective in art and life. Do what you love, everyone’s journey is different. It may be egotistical to say this but I am really proud of myself for letting my mind go wild and free and not care about what others think about my art. It’s mine and a reflection of me. Everyone’s art is different because we all have different reflections. The beauty of life is in our diversity, no? how the stars have aligned and reveal the achilles heel of the systems planted by humans I wish I knew whether all of this is worth anything I love being up at night because that's when the world's asleep and I can finally be alone. But underlying that calmness is always another anxiety that I have to sleep or I'll be sleepy the next day - that constant internal push-and-pull has been how I've been spending my nights, and nothing can quite compare to it. The days are blending, I hope my mind is mending. What’s waiting out there for me? feeling incomplete what is happening to the world? Hearing the ambulance siren outside my window at 11:14pm and yet still typing away on the keyboard for a presentation at work tomorrow. relentless and restless this means what my heart beats a dissonance from life and everything that is real i wish i could see the future in all of its certainty instead of lying here, thinking of what ifs and could haves Random but overwhelming moments of loneliness I worry that even if I go to sleep, tomorrow will still be the same. I just want someone to stroke my hair while I lie on their knee, pull it when necessary. Wild Child the movie said if you sit on your hand till it turns numb and hold your own hand it’s like holding someone else’s. Of course in betweeners says that tactic is good for self pleasure. But either way I’m tired of feeling like I’m stroking my own hair with a numb hand. General uncertainty with what I’m doing with my life (career-wise, feelings-wise, life goals) lack of human touch and worry of reuniting with others Past memories or possible memories the cat scratching at the door because it wants to go out to pee I need help the small crab's friend - the mochi. https://clariceng.com/In-Your-Hands Thu, 09 Apr 2020 15:52:41 +0000 Clarice Ng https://clariceng.com/In-Your-Hands <img width="3453" height="2302" width_o="3453" height_o="2302" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eb27ccfa381ff0afe70df87211bffd6e94ded69dd9ad5ca0b8e2070a638b5a55/inyourhands11_LR.jpg" data-mid="67851859" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/eb27ccfa381ff0afe70df87211bffd6e94ded69dd9ad5ca0b8e2070a638b5a55/inyourhands11_LR.jpg" /> <img width="3379" height="2253" width_o="3379" height_o="2253" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/96d9a2b19e496367d4ada26d6fc0347b67a2c5adde8837320b7b91fdb4242d1f/inyourhands8_LR.jpg" data-mid="67851862" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/96d9a2b19e496367d4ada26d6fc0347b67a2c5adde8837320b7b91fdb4242d1f/inyourhands8_LR.jpg" /> <img width="3208" height="2139" width_o="3208" height_o="2139" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e756045ca67ffddaa18ffa7c81e16354de315e35c09ae4a724462b51eb5707f7/inyourhands10_LR.jpg" data-mid="67851861" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e756045ca67ffddaa18ffa7c81e16354de315e35c09ae4a724462b51eb5707f7/inyourhands10_LR.jpg" /> <img width="3390" height="2261" width_o="3390" height_o="2261" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/224308e65a131d76eee9aab9ce1c2669f86b2f27bb6824ce66cb1e2c41fd7a3e/inyourhands7_LR.jpg" data-mid="67851860" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/224308e65a131d76eee9aab9ce1c2669f86b2f27bb6824ce66cb1e2c41fd7a3e/inyourhands7_LR.jpg" /> <img width="3451" height="2300" width_o="3451" height_o="2300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2d2953352de369afc9bd1d01dff80475f5de2bd97969249552b542af9d060555/inyourhands12_LR.jpg" data-mid="67851864" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2d2953352de369afc9bd1d01dff80475f5de2bd97969249552b542af9d060555/inyourhands12_LR.jpg" /> <img width="3648" height="2432" width_o="3648" height_o="2432" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c3eb505ecd6b2b76cedf7b7b820b883c4d3a135f4c1702b1b0c05f432d725eb9/inyourhands9_LR.jpg" data-mid="67851863" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c3eb505ecd6b2b76cedf7b7b820b883c4d3a135f4c1702b1b0c05f432d725eb9/inyourhands9_LR.jpg" /> &nbsp; In Your Hands 2019 Interactive Sculpture SeriesScarva Earthstone In Your Hands is a series of interactive sculptures that parallels the innate fragility of human beings. Viewers are invited to interact with the work and are thus given the power, responsibility and choice as to how they handle the work where the artist surrenders all forms of control, leaving each sculpture vulnerable in the hands of the public. It was shortlisted for the 2019 Batsford Prize under the Fine Art category and was exhibited in the Camberwell College of Arts Summer Degree Show 2019 and Power Play Festival 2020, Singapore. <img

Cosy, sleepy, still. Encased in thepretend for just one moment longer. Sigh. The smell of the pool at night. With a fat old manplaying the accordian. Jazz music in the moonlight. Listening to thunderstorms with my mum and counting between them. Now it’s my favourite weather. When I was a little girl, if there was a big rainstorm on the weekends my father would take me and the do around our estate with our wellies on. The objective of the walk was to see who could squash the most slugs during our stroll.Though morose and cruel, those were some of the happiest walks of my childhood A few years back I had a dream where I was in a tent like this one with strangers and we could hear each other’s thoughts echoed in our minds as we fell asleep. It’s really interesting how I’m having such a déjà vu feeling right now in both cases feeling innocent. Do you think you can be in love with more people at the same time? There is either everything or nothing happening at the same time. It’s all about the energies you feel and reflecting outside so that the others can grasp them as well. My sisters and I used to make fairy houses in shoe boxes. We would build beds for them and leave them offerings and write them letters. They would write letters back to us. Being in here feels like being inside a fairy house. I am at the garden. I paint over my dad’s painting. He comes and gets the paint off me with turpentine. He tells me I need to do my own painting. He gets out an old painting with a printed Mona Lisa. I paint over it. It’s great. I feel like a painter now. I had an amazing childhood but my dad hid his homelessness from me. I was embarrassed to be seen with him. This helps me reconcile the nostalgia I have for a happy, ignorant childhood with the shame and guilt I’ve grown to feel towards my dad. https://clariceng.com/I-Begin-to-Write Thu, 09 Apr 2020 15:52:41 +0000 Clarice Ng https://clariceng.com/I-Begin-to-Write <img width="1555" height="1036" width_o="1555" height_o="1036" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9d734f930eda73c15922b85db9d5508628ebea68a2b4a8a5e6421e98e1caa46b/ibegintowrite_clariceng_1.jpg" data-mid="67869999" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9d734f930eda73c15922b85db9d5508628ebea68a2b4a8a5e6421e98e1caa46b/ibegintowrite_clariceng_1.jpg" /> I Begin to Write2019Interactive InstallationHandbound Book, Lamp, Table, ChairDimensions Variable ‘I Begin to Write’ is an interactive installation work that acts as a collective point of reflection. Amidst the act of passive looking within a gallery space, visitors continuously absorb the thoughts presented before them. This installation serves to flip that traditional dynamic by opening up a space that instead, highlights the visitors’ own thoughts. Participants are prompted to engage through writing and to respond to the writings of others — to pause, reflect and connect. It acts as a site-specific time capsule, depicting the community of thought of the visitors of the designated gallery space during the duration of its showcasing. It also documents each individual’s state of mind at a point in their life during their visit as well as a quiet mark of existence, that they have passed through.This edition of the book was made possible by the visitors of the Wilson Road Upper and Ground Floor Galleries in South London, during the period of 31 Jan - 7 Feb 2019. <img width="1121" height="793" width_o="1121" height_o="793" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/514ace5e43d687d3d586d8b1cb4f888bd97d49869d85e90b957218d00adb5a32/page-2_LR.jpg" data-mid="67870477" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/514ace5e43d687d3d586d8b1cb4f888bd97d49869d85e90b957218d00adb5a32/page-2_LR.jpg" /> <img width="1125" height="795" width_o="1125" height_o="795" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ba22bf57d4a01ace45ed4d9297c83427564b88e64fdc177e951fa35fb0ef298b/page-4_LR.jpg" data-mid="67870476" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ba22bf57d4a01ace45ed4d9297c83427564b88e64fdc177e951fa35fb0ef298b/page-4_LR.jpg" /> <img width="1128" height="797" width_o="1128" height_o="797" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/69c9b318d5e99ba73974ecd5ec7727f161895c80044af997eba62aef871691e5/page-3_LR.jpg" data-mid="67870483" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/69c9b318d5e99ba73974ecd5ec7727f161895c80044af997eba62aef871691e5/page-3_LR.jpg" /> <img width="1114" height="788" width_o="1114" height_o="788" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4480c34c08026322f0c04b148abd720a1e9e07b5250b4bc095a19b77cb19c9b5/page-5_LR.jpg" data-mid="67870482" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4480c34c08026322f0c04b148abd720a1e9e07b5250b4bc095a19b77cb19c9b5/page-5_LR.jpg" /> <img width="1129" height="798" width_o="1129" height_o="798" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1f43f22e7474e29d7f86cc3d4dac97b4a5b4e0ea14a4da2c3dad7cbb195be0dd/page-6_LR.jpg" data-mid="67870479" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1f43f22e7474e29d7f86cc3d4dac97b4a5b4e0ea14a4da2c3dad7cbb195be0dd/page-6_LR.jpg" /> <img width="1125" height="795" width_o="1125" height_o="795" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f147eab655592a2f3a5eed00ca38e611eb6bc28ad6c7bda5d2302d748d5009fd/page-8_LR.jpg" data-mid="67870478" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f147eab655592a2f3a5eed00ca38e611eb6bc28ad6c7bda5d2302d748d5009fd/page-8_LR.jpg" /> <img width="1117" height="790" width_o="1117" height_o="790" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/787928dd44c4a8a31b31bdcef8eb935104af3c1d8704a677236c39611e1c57df/page-7_LR.jpg" data-mid="67870485" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/787928dd44c4a8a31b31bdcef8eb935104af3c1d8704a677236c39611e1c57df/page-7_LR.jpg" /> <img width="1117" height="790" width_o="1117" height_o="790" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/35f4ec3d32970edcef6a8de38579c2533aaad996171f08f381b19c3c2e13d72c/page-9_LR.jpg" data-mid="67870480" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/35f4ec3d32970edcef6a8de38579c2533aaad996171f08f381b19c3c2e13d72c/page-9_LR.jpg" /> <img width="1127" height="796" width_o="1127" height_o="796" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c8ab92a407eed7ee8e15088255d214fea87ae94b5775c9bd738b4c16f7a98c7c/page-10_LR.jpg" data-mid="67870481" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c8ab92a407eed7ee8e15088255d214fea87ae94b5775c9bd738b4c16f7a98c7c/page-10_LR.jpg" /> <img width="1133" height="801" width_o="1133" height_o="801" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9e1260f9874253830d312361f7c3b98b8f7142ea611ac54c9a92a23cbeaf8dce/page-1_LR.jpg" data-mid="67870484" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9e1260f9874253830d312361f7c3b98b8f7142ea611ac54c9a92a23cbeaf8dce/page-1_LR.jpg" /> <img width="1796" height="1198" width_o="1796" height_o="1198" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cfbe782f106fef3d087975549f96414317f22b9ab401e65fee9bbd3bbb639ebb/ibegintowrite_clariceng_3.jpg" data-mid="67870001" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cfbe782f106fef3d087975549f96414317f22b9ab401e65fee9bbd3bbb639ebb/ibegintowrite_clariceng_3.jpg" /><img width="1494" height="970" width_o="1494" height_o="970" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d016410cacb1d3fa7b211cf5dee69a502db5934cec8724a8d4737464602847c8/ibegintowrite_clariceng_2.jpg" data-mid="67870003" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d016410cacb1d3fa7b211cf5dee69a502db5934cec8724a8d4737464602847c8/ibegintowrite_clariceng_2.jpg" />
