Teo Huey Ling’s work includes drawings, contemporary sculptures, and art installations. Being tremendously driven by intricate and laborious processes, the artist takes interest in learning and mastering technical skills to uncover the properties of the material she works with. She thinks that her work is the partnership between the material, bonded through sensuous understanding and spontaneous responses.
Huey Ling graduated with high distinction in both ceramics and drawings from the National Art School, Australia, 2006. She has taught part-time in NAFA Diploma, NAFA Junior Arts, and at Temasek Polytechnic Design school.
Her personal work strives on the notions of ambiguities that shift the forms of the biomorphic shapes through repetition, overlapping and juxtaposition. A deliberate attempt which portrays an amorphous state of being through visual storytelling. Presently, the artist work in wood, ceramics, resins and wool. The interest and challenges in manipulating different materials allow the artists to create an aesthetic-dynamics, it is also an exploration of the self and interplay of various elements into an aesthetic language which leaves its viewer room for imaginative and interpretation.
