Singapore 2015: Fost Gallery The Hands That Remember

Scott and I went to the opening of The Hands That Remember by Izziyana Suhami at Fost Gallery in Gillman Barracks last Friday. I shared an oil painting class with Izzi before, so I’ve sort of been keeping track of her art career like the creeper that I am, eh heh. This solo exhibition represents her foray into the abstraction of embroidery and weaving, and even features a small activity corner for patrons to try a little weaving. Do check it out! It runs till 31 May.

I Remember Time With Such Slowness, 2015.
Detail.
My favourite series.
Scott said it was because they were so colourful.

It was my first time weaving! My contribution is that small navy patch on the bottom left corner. I didn’t know what I doing, so I weaved with a double thread; I had to request for a pair of scissors from the counter to free the needle after. D’oh! It was pretty meditative while I worked on it though.
