Tamper, gently
2020-21

Tamper, gently is an installation comprising of ten sculptural assemblages, all of which are rotatable or adjustable, inviting viewers to tamper gently with their positionings. Often working with notions of participation from the public, the artist attempts to communicate only through titles that function as instructions or suggestions, relying on visitors to make decisions on her behalf. Always open to the possibility of slight shifts, these assemblages remain in a state of constant flux, waiting to be rotated clockwise or anti-clockwise; to be swapped, wheeled, reshuffled.

The installation is accompanied by a booklet that functions as a guide to the tampering of the objects, and is made available for visitors to take. The work was exhibited as part of a group exhibition, Maybe we read too much into things, curated by Berny Tan.
