Recyclable Art, Peranakan Houses

2007-09-01T12:27:00.000+08:00

I have always been facinated with the peranakan culture, especially the artworks, architecture with their vibrant display of colors and motiffs. Thus this inspired me to create this artwork of a row of peranakan houses. It is made of unwanted cardboards and has a 3 dimensional front and side view, taking into account the little details associated with peranakan architecture.

THE PROCESS

The model is planned and drafted to scale on the drawing board.

Front view of the raw 3D model in cardboard, yet to be finished with colors and framing.

Recyclable Art, Table Lamp

Table lamp made of carton box including the base. Finished with a total height of 32 cm.

THE PROCESS This 'Meiji' carton was selected because it carries a cute little panda. Markings and settings were carefully planned on the box so as to synchronise the panda horizontally and vertically as I weave it together.
The weaved and raw shade, notice the horizontal and vertical weavings with the panda picture and 'HELLO PANDA' still intact.

This is one of my earlier work done few years back. I made it using carton boxes, , wires, newspaper etc, 100% recyclable materials, after which I applied paint as a finishing. It is huge measuring 1.7m in height. It is actually a replica of a tin robot provided to me as a model from a toy shop which was eventually sold to them to be displayed outside their shop as an icon.
