Interest & Influences...

Doing an artwork about myself has never taken centrestage in the grand scheme of things, egocentricity seem to be the word that comes to mind. While packing my room I came across some articles that I had written during my secondary school days, reading them made me realise that most of them was about, you guessed it, myself! What an irony. I had actually presented myself in a different form of expression, this triggered the idea of combining both my interest in art and writing into a self portrait. This combination was to document the different life journeys I have travelled in bite-sizes.

Being an avid reader of Streats, the way the publication was broken up into different segments drew my fancy. Being inspired, I wanted a publication with segments that document my own dreams and aspirations; attitudes and beliefs. Therefore, I created Joyce's Periodicals to reflect these personalities. I used the headlines of the various articles in the paper to convey messages to the audience. They have all taken different priorities at different juncture of my life, some have come to reality while others have faded off along the way.
