Following that, I did a piece in ceramic stoneware, and later in stainless steel, and brass. Since these later works were fabricated in a workshop, I requested for an edition of three pieces each. People find these geometric forms not so appealing. I suppose, time will tell. Usually new works take a few years for people to understand and accept.” (Bodies Transformd, Ng Eng Teng in the Nineties, Page 47).
