My first impression of Singapore is… that it’s a very functional city, and I respect that.

The skyline… contributes to a city’s identity. In Singapore I feel that the way it is lit is all about power.

Light is… my way of painting, my medium. The sky is my canvas.
My work is… always going to be a unique response to my surroundings.

I have been compared to… James Turrell and Christo. I think we have an almost accidental common theme, where people get to re-experience and reconnect with a building that they normally pass by on a daily basis.

At the moment I am… focusing on smaller design pieces. The large scale installations are only ever temporary, and I want to create something lasting that people can own.
