In the evening went to small
beach to work as the sun
went down - time the
completion of work with
sundown - broken stones
-cracked in two -not easy.
Scratched white around cracks
- made a sort of spiral which
suited this work - this is how
forms such as spirals/circles/balls
appear - out of the making and not
taken out there to be imposed
The above extract was taken out of Andy’s website, describing the process of making this piece of art.
I interpret the spiral as a journey. The spiral will only continue to spiral out in a similar fashion which can be liken to a long journey. Just like Singapore’s journey to independence. The scraped pebbles remind me of the people who had to eke out a living and scrape by life. Also, as it spirals out, it represents Singapore has to move on from its past and work towards a better future.
