Singaporean artist & designer Grace Tan and her creative team at Kwodrent recently displayed a cloud-like suspended art installation called Refuge at the Singapore Art Musuem.\u00a0Commissioned for the President\u2019s Young Talents 2013, the installation is created from 1.5 million polypropylene loop pins connected together to make it resemble like a cloud.<\/p>\n

The idea was born while Tan was at a stationary store and she noticed some price tags which reminded her of the stamen of flowers. She bought some and started experimenting with them. “It looked organic to me.” says Grace Tan. “It resembled\u00a0a knitted structure and with the multiplicity of loops, it creates a beautiful form when hung.” she adds.<\/p>\n

The entire installation was installed with some basic sketches which acted as a guideline during the installation. Refuge was created with the objective of finding\u00a0beauty in the mundane and uncertainty. \u00a0Having achieved \u00a0the objective without\u00a0a predefined visual is pretty impressive.<\/p>\n

As part of the President\u2019s Young Talents 2013, the installation will be on display at the Singapore Art Museum<\/a> until 15th September 2013.<\/p>\n
