Our exhibition CONCEPT
We chose this theme as we find light intriguing to work with; light can be expressed in many different ways, and we thought it would be interesting to experiment with how light can be portrayed. Even though light can signify hope, it can also be used to show emotions, such as happiness, ranging to the portrayal of dangerous things such as the light emitted from a fire or an explosion. A simple Light could mean anything under the word, such as lightweight, light feelings, or literally light rays. This would give us more freedom to explore the concept, and our works would therefore have a larger sense of creativity. We draped the board with cloth as we all decided that leaving the board black as it was would be a little plain. To suit the theme Light, we used white cloth with translucent purple so that the board would not give off a dull or heavy colour and would suit the theme better. As we came up with works suited for the theme, we truly had to stretch our minds as to what light could mean. In conclusion, preparing for this exhibition opened windows in our understanding of the portrayal of light.

The Rainbow after the Rain
Lim Xin Ying
Glitter Glue, Paper and Corrugated Paper
2010
This artwork depicts a rain droplet with a rainbow inside it. The rainbow is created with glitter glue on a piece of paper and the piece of paper is glued to the corrugated paper.
The surface of the rain droplet is rough. The rainbow is made up of the seven colours that a normal rainbow will have and the colours appear to be merged together. The rainbow contains many complementary colours like red and green, orange and blue are in the rainbow, attracting the viewer’s attention to the rainbow. The rainbow also stands out from the rain droplet as the rainbow is made up of colours of a basic colour wheel. The colours are glittering as it is created using glitter glue. The rainbow’s texture is also rough as it is made up of bits of glitter.
As we all know, rainbows appear after a rain stops and it does not always appear. The rain droplet is rough as this represents that the path taken by an individual is not smooth. The rain droplet also depicts that on some days, it will be rainy and gloomy for the individual, but the rainbow represents the fact that after the rain stops, happiness will come. The rainbow is also created using glitter glue as it will be shiny and the it represents that the individual will shine when the hardships are overcome. So the motto of the story is not to give up in yourself and strive hard in the rain to overcome the obstacles as the rainbow may appear anytime.
