Sewing Happiness: A Series of Fun & Simple Fabric Collage Projects for Learning Great & Living Well.


Project of 2017


“Blossom Colours of Life” is a community art project co-created by Singaporean artist, Tan Haur, with patients of Jurong Community Hospital. Strolling down memory lane with the patients, the artist gathered heart-warming stories of senior participants through simple heartfelt conversations and craft sessions and translated them into a visual journal of 15 colourful fabric collage artworks. The art-making process encourages patients to revisit those nostalgic scenes of yesteryears and reminisce about their favourite food, the simple life and the good old kampong days. Stories were stitched together to form intricate fabric collages of iconic landmarks like the former National Theatre and objects like Tingkat and rotary dial phone – each rekindling a connection between the past and the present. The pattern-rich art pieces adorn the walls of Jurong Community Hospital, bringing to life stories and experiences of our shared heritage and history that would allow patients to relive fond memories and be inspired with hope and optimism.

[ About the Artist ]

Fabric collage: Typewriter



"You could engage some of the five-foot-way letter-writers downtown to type a letter or fill up a form. Depending on how lengthy the letters were, fees could be as low as a cup of coffee."
- Mdm Chan, 70

Mdm Chan recalled how mechanical typewriter was not a common sight in the old kampong days and not everyone could read and write.

*The five-foot way was a unique feature of Malaya’s shophouses. Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore, stipulated that shophouses must have a covered walkway of about five feet along its street front.
*Five-foot-way traders were craftsmen who conducted their businesses along shophouse walkways that were five feet wide. Five-foot-way traders included: knife sharpeners, roadside barbers, mask makers, fortune tellers, locksmiths, letter writers, traditional “medicine men” (known as bomoh in Malay), newspaper vendors, storytellers, tinsmiths, hair-bun makers, bench makers, garland makers, stamp dealers and food vendors.

Fabric collage: Kampong






"Nothing beats living in my fishing village by the sea in Bedok, I could see the beach, the coconut trees and enjoy the sea breeze."
- Mr Yusof, 69
Fishing, attap houses and wooden cottages are common subjects that patients in Jurong Community Hospital often bring up when they reminisce about their growing up years in the 60s when kampongs and fishing villages were a common sight in Singapore.

2015 Community Art Award - Digital & Mixed Media Giant Façade Art @ Heartland, Singapore.


Yishun-team and I are honoured and thankful to have received the Community Art Award presented by Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien (Minister for Culture, Community and Youth & Leader of the House, Singapore) on our giant façade art “Yishun Symphony of Life”! This award reaffirms my aim and focuses to make art more accessible to the people by bringing it right to the heartland of Singapore and the region, emphasizing direct interaction and dialogue with the community, and breaking the notion of art exhibition and appreciation has to be confined within the four walls of a gallery or museum. Besides believing skylight is our best spotlight and ambient light, today we celebrate our success in utilizing visual art as a form of universal lingo to bring different races, nationalities and people from all walks of life together regardless of language, ethnic group and religion. Together we bring arts and culture to reach “Everyone, Everywhere, every day.”

~ Tan Haur
(Community Artist/ Designer)
