ABOUT THE WORK
The ever-changing landscape turns to the very beginning where organic movements and shapes engulf one's view. Looking at the outside and bringing the perspective of being to the outside. one finds the repetition an intriguing dose of mundane essential. The phase of the human needs for the essential inside and outside intertwines with the changing cityscape.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Liyana Ali is an artist born and raised in Singapore. She focuses on the idea of examining negative and positive shapes and spaces that derive from the traces cast from the moulds of found and constructed wooden structures. Her practice and research includes being sensitive to 'ephemeral' factors such as the impact of our environment and how it affects the materiality of the work as it is being made and realised. Another aspect of her interest is how the artist's body and movements impact the discovery of shapes formed by her process of material handling, casting and spatial arrangement. Liyana is also the recipient of the Chan-Davies Art Prize in 2019.
