I am a prolific, interdisciplinary artist working across film, performance-lecture, installation, painting, drawing, tapestry art, ‘laptop cinema’ performances, theatre stage design across >900 international settings including film festivals, museums, art galleries, cinema, theatre and more. People have described me as ‘not only a talented artist but also a great scholar’ (Cinema South Festival) with a ‘sardonic humour but also a sharp intelligence which makes her a self-reflexive, incisive artist of South East Asia’ (Singapore International Festival of Arts Director Keng Sen Ong).
