d:CON 4_03 Final Installation Progress




Two days ago, I saw an old wooden block in a truck during the tutorial session with Mr.David. Thanks to the deliveryman, he gave me the wooden block as I asked for. Apart from that, I got some rusty nails from the workers of the construction site on the way to school. The old wooden block was the base of my installation while the rusty nails was used to hold the perspex. Li Cheng, my coursemate have booked the make-lab for whole day, which provided us a working space to work on our installation. 

The design was developed from the "Timeline" I made last week. Instead of using the four different types of light transmission boxes to represent the main plots of the novel, "No Dram of Mercy" by Sybil Kathigasu, the "Timeline" was developed by using perspex to form an invisible timeline on what Sybil experienced. The "Timeline" will be "twisted" with the angle of perspex to form a movement and will be "shrink" and "expanded" with the size of perspex. Every single pieces of perspex represent the years of Sybil passed through. There are total of 49 pieces of perspex as she passed away in 49 years old (1900-1949) due to the torture in Batu Gajah prison. 

Meanwhile during the experimenting, I fail on doing the figure of Sybil Kathigasu on perspex as the pin is to weak to nail on it. Luckily the perspex was not crack when I tried to nail the pin on it. However, I have to rethink the method to make the shadow from perspex in order to create Sybil's figure.


The pictures below are the experimenting on holding perspex with rusty nail on the wooden block.

Form - Space planning - Floor plan This is the first time for me to use this kind of design method to complete the studio. Especially when I saw the sketch of my lecturer, my whole brain was stop working. I spend a lot of time to digest the design proposal as well as lecturer's approved. "How deconstructivism show Malaysian's identities?"I asked. "It's like using chopstick to eat hamburger, " he said. Sketches by Ar. David Yek. The initial form of my building design. Honestly, it's ugly. I was stuck because of the form of the building. The shape of wormhole should be twist and warped. Structure of building form experiment. Structure of building "legs" sketches. However, during the tutorial, the structure was rejected due to the design language of neighbor building. My heart was broken as my model's structure. Restart and redo.

On 9 February, after taking 3 hours of journey from KL, we arrived at Papan, a small town which well know for tin mine in the early 20th century. Papan is also noted for being the home of war-time heroine Sybil Kathigasu, and today was called "dead town" due to the Papan Riot and Japanese Occupation. Half of the town lies in ruins but still has many memories to cherish. It is quite and peaceful, what is left is old people and some activities still going on. At the moment entering this abandoned town, a strong impression of walking in time came to me. This town is pretty much dead, with rows of shophouse on both sides of road, one primary school, few houses, and an Istana Billah. I have the opportunity to visit No.74 in the main street of Papan, which used to be Sybil Kathigasu's house and clinic during WWII. I almost cannot describe with words to express my feeling while walking into the houses. I walked into the spaces of time, experienced
