[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]Singapore Girl surges upward and appears to wrest itself free from the bounds of gravity. The arms and torso come into view, fully formed, akin to a chrysalis undergoing transformation; the head is lowered, poised introspectively, as if listening to and watching the process of metamorphosis. The passages linking the formal units that make up the figure, some of which are cylindrical while others are convex and concave, are fluid and subtle. Even though the image is damaged, what survives demonstrates Eng Teng’s ability to transform a coarse variety of clay sufficiently into assuming intelligible sculptural form.
