自已第一次來到新加坡這個國家，朋友知道我會在新加坡停留10天都說我一定會感到悶的。
然而，10天過去，卻沒有悶這感覺。回想，可能和自已展覽作品有關吧。今次自已放展的作品名為《Twins album》 和《Portrait’s landscape (leader’s series)》，作品是有關兩個城市－香港和新加坡的一些歷史相連點，觸發創作主因是她們曾是英國的殖民這一點。
因此，出發前我是看了許多新加圾的歷史圖片及網上資料，了解她是如何發展成今天一個國家。所以去到當地時，每參觀一處地方或和當地人傾談（特別是的士司機），書頁內看過的圖片便成了立體「實景」 前現。
我試著把自已參觀時拍的照片中涉及到新加坡的歷史’餅碎’ 和大家分享。何解叫「餅碎」？因為真的只是從一些碎碎的資料再去「拼回碎」吧（當然仍只是片斷式吧）
過程感到自已好像 Google map 上的人仔輕易地可以在screen 上由一點被一拉去到歷史地圖上的另一「時點」，和大家分享我遇見的時點包括1824。1840。1867。1901。1935。1942。1959。

一輪體力鍛鍊後，就到腦袋訓練！
我喜歡做紙 (paper – 在美國流行文化亦解作紙幣)，今回以蘆葦草去做出美國紙(錢)！

在異地，我同時感受到差別和聯系。文化背景的不同是我們的差別；理性批判，熱誠和彼此的尊重使我們聯系。即使只是剛開始，我已身在一場歷險中。

這是一個跨領域的新課程。以生態藝術、社區藝術、和藝術教育為方向。並且以 artist-in-residence 的形式進行，就如一班遊牧民到不同的部落互相刺激、學習從而產生新的可能性和影響力，以及探討藝術家在社會和大自然的角色。

It is the last week of my artist in residence at D’clinic, I focus on transforming images of ‘Lily and male statues’ into acrylic painting; and also to plan for the exhibition at the end of my residence.
At first, I planned to show artworks made with three different mediums in the final exhibition, which includes 5 site-specific images of Lily and male statues, 5 acrylic paintings and the soft sculpture of Lily. But I got one week left to work on the paintings, and only two were finished. Nevertheless, it was good enough to depict my creative notion.
The exhibition was held in D’clinic Studio on Friday night. It was a group exhibition with two other female artists of the program – Ariel Cotton from New York and Claudia Maria from Peru, Ariel is a comic artist and Claudia makes video installation.
Audience were locals from different background and age groups. We introduced our projects, and translator Gabor translated to Hungarian for us. It was a valuable experience to communicate with the local public through my artwork. The exhibition received interests and support from the public, and another piece of news wrote about the project (Click here to read the news).
It was my first residency and I gained plenty of fruitful experiences from the trip. During the whole project and process, D’clinic Studios provided tons of support – technical, research, material supply…, and they helped with photo shooting, media relations, and exhibition arrangement as well. It is a very good platform for artists from different countries and cultures to exchange with one another. I definitely recommend D’clinic’s program for those who love making art. And I look forward to sharing my next journal in the future.

The idea for my final project came up on the 4th day of my residency.
Traditional and contemporary statues are everywhere in Europe. There is no exception in Zalaegerszeg, although it is a small town but it has 207 pieces of statues, from small ones to big ones, most of them are traditional ones but there are also some contemporary statues.
Most of the statues are famous people from the old days, such as the Kings, the nobles, poets… etc, and they are usually men. They all look very serious like the classic statues.
The notion of the project is to breakaway from the stiff and serious statues. I am making a female soft statue referencing one of the sculptures call ‘The leave knees’, it is a lady statue called Lily. Lily is a very popular statue, and there are a lot of replicas, there is one in Zalaegerszeg in a sitting position as well. The soft sculpture that I am working on will be duplicated according to her features in a contemporary approach. At specific sites she will interact with 6 selected male statues, with different body gestures, in order to create a new perspective from the original.
I am busy getting materials, and research information about the statues, to think about the composition. In the 2nd week of my residency, I focused in making the soft female sculpture, worked on pattern, sewing, and inner construction etc.
