What has it been like to work on the Singapore Biennale 2006 as an artist doing a wall painting installation and a designer for the advertising campaign, which promoted the SB2006?
I look at them as two separate projects. The advertising campaign was a commission. The theme "Belief" is not mine. Writing in English is also not me. I am French and use the French language to express myself in my text-based pieces. Yet I very much enjoyed working with designer Theseus Chan who gave me complete freedom. The concept was his. I did the drawings and trusted him to use them in his designs.

Have the two projects influenced each other?
If so, how could you describe the process? My design background is less and less important. I don't want to be part of a design team. I want to keep my position as an artist and from time to time collaborate on projects that revolve around fine art. I did work at Tanglin Camp early enough so that Theseus could come and photograph some of the imagery to use as a link in his branding of the Singapore Biennale 2006.

What "Belief" are you referring to in your wall installation "Occupation Bleue"?
The work in Tanglin shows how there is no control in the jungle. Its "occupation" is constant; it cannot be controlled. In Singapore we like to control things but cannot really. My work is like a vine, no framing on the floors or walls. Nature and art are similar; you must just "let go"! My work is the opposite of control and concept. "Liking" or "not liking" what I am doing is not important for me. The process is more important than the result. It is more interesting to see what comes out, let go, and accept! Sincerity is at the heart of my work. I want to reach oneness with my environment and with myself.
