It's 2 years since I left Singapore, and first arrived in the Netherlands 🌲🌲 Returning to school was so fun, but also soo challenging - a complete upheaval. If my inner world was a garden, then I've uprooted every plant and tilled the soil. It's a HOT MESS! And I don't know what it'll look like next, but I do have some seeds and the intention has always been to grow deeper roots and reach taller heights 🫘

Even though it's been 2 years.. now that I finished this Master's programme, I feel like I'm moving out of DAE and into the Netherlands for the first time. I feel deep gratitude, joy, but also uncertainty, longing, grief - it's again a season of change!

I've been reminded that the upsetting cloud that often looms over me, is tethered to fear and a longing for a picture of my life that could tell me how it's supposed to be 🔮

But if I already knew, then what would be the point? My future successes would cease to be rewards.

I'm reminded that life isn't a puzzle to be solved, or a destination to arrive at, but a dance to engage in and enjoy 🪩 And again, I am called to courage! Called to trust 🤲🏻

I feel as though I’m still waking up from a dream!! @penlandschool , you were everything I dreamed of and MORE! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Two unforgettable weeks with Marc Barreda (@studio_barreda) in his Devious Drinking Devices Reimagined course in Penland’s glass studio, where I learned the art of trick glasses. 🍷😜🫗

It was an intimate class - just me, Evan, Fiona, Abigail and Kat - guided with exceptional skill and generosity by David and Teresa (@davidschnuckel & @theresajorgensen)

Working with glass teaches so. much.
clear communication,
the balance between promptness and patience,
the humility to let go when things don’t go as planned,
and the joy of collaboration. ☺️

Grateful beyond words to the City of Virginia Beach’s 2025 Individual Artist Grant and a Penland scholarship for making this experience possible. 🙌🏼🪽

@vabeacharts @penlandschool

Peace & love, y’all 🫶🏼

I just had the time of my life with @studio_barreda in his 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 course at @penlandschool for the last couple of weeks! …and super delighted to have shared the role of studio assistant with @theresajorgensen as part of it. Lots was given by the two of them: exemplary leadership, technical savvy, creative vision, and an unmatched level of generosity in- and out-of-studio (and at all hours of the day). Models of excellence in every way.

There is so, so much more to trick glasses than those cool little things let on. Historically. Creatively. Intellectually. Culturally. Technically. TONS to be mesmerized by. I love many things about trick glasses because of this course, but the truest truth about them is written in Marc’s course description:

“𝘕𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬, 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦, 𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳.”

And that they did. I loved being part of a hot shop cohort that was as ambitious as it was considerate…and the group dynamic was nothing short of feeling like family. We were tight. And we were there to get better while making each other better, too.

Best. Session. Ever.

Thank you, Marc, for the magic.

Thank you, Theresa, for upping my game.

Thank you, Penland, for a spectacular time.

Last year, we responded to the theme of Interspecies MONEY by calling a return to our first & original form of currency exchange = SOLAR ENERGY 🌞🔄

Lead by the NORTH, SOUTH, EAST and WEST STARS 💫💫💫💫 newly recruited members of the SUN TRIBE gathered around a ceremonial campfire adorned with offerings of fruits and ritualistic wares to engage in thanksgiving and a communal feast 🤲🏻

This remains as one of my most cherished collaborations of 2024 🥹 So much joy, meaning and synergy weaved into one experience together with @andries.de.lange @junfujisaku @fiona.walking, and not to forget, sooo much cheekiness with our adjacent MOON TRIBE 🌕📣 as we stitched together ancient truisms from our non-human teachers into bright WORDART slides 🤭🖌️💾

BIG thank you sweethearts @serim_kwack & @pia_grae for the photo & video documentation 🐝🍯🫶🏻 and S/O to everyone who attended this event!!! ❤️‍🔥📣🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

EARTH STATION EINDHOVEN TEA CEREMONY (18 Apr 2024)

Looking back at our contemplative tea ceremony that served as an embodied archive of the research and remarkable group work carried out at Earth Station Eindhoven, taking place at the incredible Trans Realities Lab @tdn.research.dae @designacademyeindhoven . Huge thanks to all the tutors and peers who supported us and joined us in the experience.

Earth Station Eindhoven stands as a unique model within the constraint of an academy where we, 1st year students of MA Information Design, critically engage in knowledge production and experiment counter-mapping practices concerning the climate crisis.

With the guidance of the amazing @open_weather Sophie Dyer‘s Critical Cartographies studio, this unapologetically errant “institution” operates autonomously through a feminist lens, not only challenging the sensing, transmitting and archiving approaches usually deployed by such an institution, but also expanding our capacity of thinking collectively over complex research and fostering trust in decentralised decisions that give shape and texture to our final work.

.

Chapter 1. Sensing the ends
(interview-based script writing, video performance, position mapping, customised tea brew)

Chapter 2. Infrastructure for an in-between world
(interviews and weaving workshop recap, collective tea brew, ceremonial snack)

Chapter 3. Toward an equitable transmission
(film with multi-channel audio, collective listening, fieldwork research sharing)

Chapter 4. Finale/Beginning
(tea burial and seeding)

.

4 years ago today, @bar_clavel opened
.
.
.
Here are some of my shots & thoughts from the early days on what I witnessed
.
.
I saw the amount of dedication, many coffee cups, constant conversations, thoughts, tears, labor (physical & mental), listened to creative processes, felt passion, love... & look at what a simple chat around a dinner table became!
.
.
Congratulations @yo_soy_bbeto @lanesomedove @jharlan2000 & Matthew on 4 years. Congratulations to the team that started with us and those who are with us today. Thank you to everyone who has supported from either giving your time, your help, or just enjoying the food & mezcal. WOO CUATRO AÑOS!!
