SPADICE
"The stars will never be won by little minds; we must be big as space itself." ~Robert A. Heinlein SPADICE (Surface Pattern Art & Design Interdisciplinary Collaborative Effort) Established in 2021, SPADICE is a new project concept initiated by its founder Tan Haur (Singapore) during the COVID-19 pandemic, whereby many art educators are facing quite a fair bit of challenges in the physical classroom teaching & learning, as well as brick-and-mortar space to showcase and share the artistic effort of the creators. The key idea of SPADICE is to enable the participants to have a feel of how their two-dimensional drawing (digital/ conventional media) can be transformed and realized in the form of a 3-D product after attending Tan Haur's NAC AEP courses and visual art workshops. As for phase one of the SPADICE project (November 2021 - 31st March 2022), the team is working with the Rainbow Centre (Margaret Drive School), River Valley High School, and Anderson Serangoon Junior College as a start. This project is to let the students experience a full journey from their learning to art creation and virtual presentation. SPADICE also works with several guests, including SEPs, musicians, artists with special needs, designers, crafters, and independent art creators who specialize in areas with their right and churn out something new with the surface pattern design methodology and craft technology via collaborative effort. Over this growing platform, we encourage communication, suggestions, and future collaboration. Together, we’ll be able to improve, grow, and benefit everybody in a long run. Hence, SPADICE encompasses a complete journey started from curriculum design, teaching, learning, drawing, painting, pattern-designing, printing, and crafting till finished 3-D products for sharing. We welcome your constructive input as well as all forms of support. Thank you very much!

The Art of Collaboration
As an artist & educator, I enjoy working through art collaboration and self-designed art-making processes to obtain unique artistic lingo. It fuels my art, pushes me by understanding a subject matter from different perspectives, and helps me grow by challenging me through group participation, interaction, and interpretation.
In this series of work, I worked with two separate groups of students to create two-dimensional spaces made up of elements that resonate between the familiar and the unknown. By employing different perspectives, I try to encourage an experiential view of the mindscape, as the landscape that exists for the viewer in the physical world, where sightlines are constantly shifting.
I was inspired by the NGS art collection “Under construction” created by Leng Joon Wong. His painting has an immense power to draw viewers into his subject matter through the painted perspective line works. I intended to focus on the art-making processes rather than the final outcome, so we started on-site sketching with pencil and Chinese ink on paper materials as a seeding unit, followed by planting the group's mindscape by working with acrylic paint on canvases. These painted mindscapes had grown organically and become a rhythmic labyrinth to enter and travel through, wherein the viewer experiences his or her own personal associations.
