Image-Transfer On Plywood
Edition of
Dimensions (WxH): 114 x 110cm
As a visual artist I work across printmaking, installation, and mixed media, examining how landscapes are occupied, transformed, and lost over time. My work begins as site-based explorations, where engagement with place informs mark-making, image-making, and mapping.
Having studied at LASALLE College of the Arts (2022) in Singapore, my practice expanded from ecological concerns to a broader investigation of colonial histories and land. I am pursuing an MA in Print at the Royal College of Art, London, researching landscapes in Mumbai and London. I am a recipient of the Sheila Sloss Award (2026), Printmakers Council, London.
Printmaking sits at the centre of my practice, primarily image-transfer and etching, mediums materially distinct but conceptually linked, where an image transforms as it moves from one surface to another, leaving a mark that is both trace and new object.
Play functions as a research method. The sliding puzzle recurs as a metaphor for environmental shift, each block moving only by negotiating the space beside it, a logic I extend into modular installations echoing urban structures while allowing organic forms to intrude. This is grounded in one question, have we been colonising our nature, a pattern of occupying and absorbing land into new identities.
