I always talk about how time has passed, but I think I see it a lot clearer now that I have Allison growing alongside. She’s growing bigger and smarter everyday, and I am continually growing as an adult, as a parent.
In that aspect, a key moment of change has been my identity. Now as a parent, I ought to be doing and behaving a certain way. Specifically, I have to make actions with the responsibility of my child in mind. I can’t just stay late at work because someone says so, I have to play the role of the father, and make clear indication where and where I want to be present at. And it will cost me in one way or another. I would like it to cost less at home, and I’ll be happy to pay with my career for it. After all, money can be earned, but I can’t undo family hurts after it’s been caused.
At the coming Singapore Art Book Fair, I’ll be having some zines that I worked hard on, and some that have been sitting on my mind for some time. I’ll do my best to write about them, but sometimes, I love how transient my work is. It’s like if you know about it then you do. And if you don’t know, you’ll never see it again.
But realistically, I really ought to develop my portfolio properly. There’s just so many random things, I have no idea what I really want to feature.
Should definitely start with this year’s art book fair items…
