Joo
Choon Lin (b. 1984) makes experimental stop-motion animation across
various disciplines, including drawing, sculpture and printmaking. Her
work incorporates live action and localised contexts to create
narratives that blur fact and fiction. For her, the sketches also take
the form of sculptural maquette. Joo’s drawings are spontaneous, as she
nurtures her story each day with make-belief and with surreal
consequences. In flux, every ‘new’ drawing (new frame in this case)
contains a residual memory of the previous drawing—haunting and
scar-like. Every subsequent frame escapes, and dissipates from the
previous: One event leads to the next without a script. While not
deliberate, there is a concurrent mood of escapism and introspection in
Joo’s work, reflecting the artist’s nonchalant attitude to the hype of
new media, preferring something more material and craft-like.
