Overview

This is conceptual project that documents my attempt to build an artistic practice from scratch through small, repeatable experiments and online display on social media.

Context

I’ve wanted to be an artist for a long time,
just not always in the same form:
I sang in choirs, performed on stage, and drew in sketchbooks as a child.
At different points, I thought I might become a singer, an actor, or a painter.

I didn’t grow up on a straight path into art, nevertheless.
Over time, I drifted – into business, then arts management, then museum studies and research.
Somewhere along the way,
I stopped making things, except just papers.

But I never stopped wanting to create.
Why couldn’t such feelings simply go away? I wonder.
They all just sat there: my half-formed ideas, impulses, images,
and all those things I wanted to try.
Eventually, I realised I didn’t want to wait anymore.
Not until I had the right training, or the right time, or enough fame.

I decided to start now, aiming to finally become an artist,
even just a third-tier one.

What I Do

– I begin from what I already have, while experimenting on what I lack
– I build practice through small, repeatable actions
– I start with social media as a space for display and engagement
– I enjoy uncertainty and invisibility, not rushing to resolve them first

---

Current Output

– Ongoing experiments across different media, including painting, Procreate drawing, creative coding with R, and 3D modelling
– A growing body of small, exploratory works
– Early visual systems and recurring motifs (e.g. Red & Blue Birds)
– A visible trace of how a practice starts to take form

Ongoing

Becoming an artist is not a single decision or a fixed identity.

It is a process of building,
building something gradually –
from fragments, habits, and repeated attempts.

This project is still unfolding.
It continues to test how far a practice can go,
when it is built from whatever is already there.
