Constant Presence of Absence ponders on the passing of time, our everyday environment versus our past and our ability to daydream. Seemingly mundane objects found in the neighbourhood where I live in Singapore create an opening for a space for dreaming in. Escaping direct definitions however, the formal aspects of painting themselves are the agents of remedy in this composition’s visual journey.
