[nb-NO]Creator[nb-NO]Ng Eng Teng
[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]“This is one of two pieces I did in 1994. It was is inspired by the tragic collapse of a condominium in Kuala Lumpur, the Highland Towers, on 11 December 1993 that claimed 48 lives. It reminded me of a verse in the Bible about building your house on a rock. Once you build your house on a rock, there are no chances of it falling. Here I have incorporated different techniques. The base was coiled and the surrounding ‘cage’ structures made from extruded forms and then assembled. Over the top there is a cloud. The rock is glazed and there are little cavities in which I threw blue glass chips. The glass melts like pools of water. This work combines different forms – organic and geometric.“ (Bodies Transformd, Ng Eng Teng in the Nineties, Page 51).
