Bendemeer MRT Station - Art In Transit 'And A New World'
Bendemeer MRT Station – Art In Transit ‘And A New World’

Art in Transit: “And A New World” by Cristene Chang

In tribute to the area’s textile culture, Chang’s metaphor of fabric suggests the interweaving of the past and present. The dynamic ‘tug and pull’ of cloth produces a gentle flexing and repetition that alludes to the ebb and flow of time. The familiar is buoyed alongside the forgotten. Peranakan tiles of shop-houses drift with snatches of mall facades; a football in mid-air recollects a historical stadium.

Chang’s ‘Fabric of Time’ bears textures of being embroidered, stitched or enfolded in pleats, creases and rich layers. She culls her imagery from batiks, French lace and sulam needlework, paisley and stencilled prints with the peony, hibiscus, rose and butterfly signifying ephemeral beauty. Chang’s ‘And A New World‘, named after the once iconic New World Amusement Park, reverberates with continual flux.
