January marked the start of an exciting and productive year for me. I secured tenure in a beautiful North facing studio in an old black and white colonial house in a very lush and tropical part of Singapore. I'm really exicted to start the next round of commissions and take full advantage of the cool, diffused light that makes objects glow. I am going to use a mixture of daylight and artificial to light both the set up and the easel to allow for those thunderous downpours which are an all too common phenomenon here in Singapore.
