Foo Swee Chin -aka FSc- is a comic book creator, illustrator and character designer. Her children’s picture book, Mondtochter, is about a girl from the moon, about humans and about the suffering of planet earth.

“Mondtochter means “moon’s daughter” in German,” she adds.  “I made the book for Design Festa in Tokyo. A friend of mine gave me some curtain and wallpaper samples which were initially going to be thrown away. So I tried printing on the wallpaper and stiffen the fabric to make stuff. Recycling in other words. It’s a waste to throw them away. The papers and fabric were really pretty too. It is sad to see that our world has turned into a “use and throw away” society.”

What's happening in Singapore

  • MOMENTS

    Moments is a visual art exhibition which will feature the works of 9 up and coming local artists. The exhibition is inspired by the contradictions between the essence and (often) the absence of time in modern day living. This irony is sometimes amplified by people’s obsession to chase time without realizing that its awareness defines the notion of its existence. By camouflaging the exhibition in the backdrop of a commercial lifestyle mall along the bustling Orchard Road, the group of young and aspiring artists involved in Moments share their interpretations of this precious, transcendental dimension. Artists Participating in the exhibition are; Ruben Pang, Hilmi Johann, Jana, Weixin, KC Gan, Nelson Lim, Eunice, Dorothy Lim and Roshi Rao. 22-29 Mar at Orchard Central - Level 4 & 5.

This will be a unique opportunity to experience the premier screening. 18 March, 4:30 pm at LASALLE, College of the Arts.
