TitlePeace Time
Description“Peace Time, 1993, composed of contrasting rounded or oval shapes within a rectilinear grid, is ironic in meaning. “There is a kind of bullet shape on a semi-circular form, and then the whole is contained within some extruded geometric clay grid which resembles a cage. It has a ‘camouflage’ colouring like that on our army uniforms, but this is in very bright colours. I call this Peace Time, for in peace time, all war weapons are ‘caged’, temporarily held in check, put there to be used at any time.”” (Bodies Transformed, Ng Eng Teng in the Nineties, Page 19).
