My Mother and I did an installation project together for EcoArt Connects at Art By The Bay exhibition. It was located at Segama Waterfront, in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, and since the event was outdoors, the installation had to be able to withstand weather conditions such as heavy rain, sun and strong wind.
My Mother had found a large fishing net, and from this we hung plastic bags cut into strips - all of which we had found in the nature, i Malaysia, Denmark and Finland.
I unfortunately was not able to attend, but my mother hung the piece up in-between trees at the waterfront, and was on site to represent us.
