Join artist and designer Casey Chen to dive deeper into the making of the light design for As the River Flows. This workshop will begin with the artist sharing how the installation was conceived and put together through layers of sound, light, and contexts. Casey will then share the inspiration behind the lighting design – transformation of unexpected, seemingly mundane objects – and what he thinks about using light as a medium in his art practice. Participants will then be shown a demonstration of how objects in the installation were assembled before making their own mini colander lamp to take home.About Casey Chen: Casey Chen is a multidisciplinary visual artist who breathes, lives, and eats all things aesthetic. He creates happy pieces with a story to tell, betting on novelty and fresh ideas. Having graduated from RMIT with a Bachelor of Design, Casey has been in the art and design field for over two decades. He is experienced and versatile with various aspects of design. He is actively involved in Singapore and the international art and design scenes in many different areas – brand, furniture, jewellery, product design, sculpture, and authorship of three books. His commissioned national sculpture for Total Defence Day – 2010 is now in the permanent collection of the School of the ARTS, Singapore (SOTA).
