Explore the realm of flora in this botanical printing session developed in partnership with Singapore Botanic Gardens. Get an intimate look at the fine beauty and precise anatomy of the botanical printing blocks from Singapore Botanic Gardens’ archives, and engage hands-on with its replicas to create a charming deck of prints.

This workshop will be introduced by Dr. Michele Rodda, Senior Researcher at the National Parks Board and Curator of Exhibitions at the Botanical Art Gallery.

Dr. Michele Rodda is a taxonomist at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, who specialises in the Apocynaceae (the frangipani family) of Southeast Asia and neighbouring regions. He has also been studying the historic collections of botanical art in the Garden’s archives. Since 2014 he has closely worked with the botanical artists at the Singapore Botanic Gardens who have been engaged to make pen and ink illustrations for the Flora of Singapore book series as well as to illustrate new species. He is the curator of exhibitions at the Garden’s Botanical Art Gallery and he has written the book Tropical Plants in Focus: Botanical Illustration at the Singapore Botanic Gardens (2021).

The falling leaves, where do they go? Here, of course, recycled into unconventional hand-bound paintbrushes. Dip your painbrush into a fresh vat of ink and create swirling trails and rhythmical marks of nature.

Join us for a discussion between artist Amanda Heng, and artist, writer and curator Jason Wee on the occasion of STPI’s group exhibition The Lines Fall Where They May curated by Wee. The Lines Fall Where They May is on mark-making and the delicate, faint signs of nonhuman life and environments.

This session will take Heng’s residency at STPI as a starting point, where she collaborated with 12 individuals from STPI to create her eventual print works. In a manner that resonated deeply with her renowned oeuvre, the artist allowed for the stories and experiences of these individuals to take the centre stage, with a treasured object or heirloom as a catalyst for this sharing. The speakers will further touch on Heng’s use of conversations and dialogue as the material of her artistic practice, and on what it means to work with the intangible, where such material often end up not getting documented at all.
