The Artworks   |   The Artist   |   The Opening Night  

The Sin Sin Show visualises a multitude of trajectories of a life as we too experience it, though with other names. They are as much Sin Sin Man’s as they are ours, if we care to embrace.

Recently returning from Cambodia where she learned the ancient art of silk weaving, Sin Sin Man wants to share how nature has shaped her creative ingenuity, as have the loom, the craftsman’s hands, the soil, the river, the sun, and the gods. This is her vision inspired by the patience of travellers, the persistence of settlers and the laughs of children. The Sin Sin Show is her first solo exhibition since 2007 with a collection of meticulously crafted objects. It attempts to stage the mysterious processes of nature and the spiritual world that enable creativity.

Here we encounter the same elements Sin Sin Man has been working with in the past three decades: gold, silver, wood, silk, and water. Tradition becomes sensuous and intimate within a contemporary framework whereas the transformative capacity of the materials enchants a life caught in transition. There is no answer if evolution or growth will follow. Sin Sin Man just lets the sources of her creative life unfold before the viewers’ eyes and hopes they will be captivated as she was. The works are displayed in three spheres:

INSPIRATION
Reflection and meditation precede all of Sin Sin Man’s creations. Sphere one invites the viewer to follow – for a moment – the artist’s footsteps. Photographs that Sin Sin Man took last October in Indonesia track the sun from rising over a mountainous region in Indonesia until it sets on a beach. Spread out in a glass cabinet are her sketch books. Images from her recent stay in Cambodia are shown on the screen.

SPIRITS
Under the careful watch of five handcrafted Balinese Masks stand an installation of Sin Sin Man's chairs with a Dulang at its center. Their playful simplicity combines functionality with a sensitive design that borrows from archaic African structures and forms. A wooden jewellery box protects a handcrafted feather ring and a pendant – both made of silver. Their lightness a reference to the flow of ancient spirits and cultures such those from Bali and Africa.

SILHOUETTE
The linear yet freeform, asymmetrical silk designs, cotton and jersey wear evolved during a seven-day stay in Cambodia, that Sin Sin Man experienced as mystical, modest and spiritual. It informed the simple lines that alternate with intricate patterns and layers - manifested in the series of: Enchantment, Tender and Bold. A refreshed version of Anywear Bag line with elegant pattern is also presented here.
