A Trail to Chase


  • LOY Gallery 133 Tanglin Road Singapore, 247925 Singapore (map)

The Trail to Chase is not a map from A to B, nor an ode to cartographers; you are not here to marvel at the modern wonders of packing and freight. A Trail to Trace is intent on walking you toward the edge of creativity, parts unknown. If you are never lost, what can be found?

Bent on one knee these artists draw lines in the sand to then brush an open palm over and wipe it clean. The Trail to Chase embraces the innate discomfort in shifted perspective, in viewing things another way. Humans making things as a blindfolded discovery. Getting lost as the intended destination. Each artist offers a voyage unlike another, harnessing nature’s raw beauty and modern innovation. The trail is shorthand for the convergence of people, place, and path; patterns mapped through use.

The passing of time is contemplated through material. An ear embalmed in copper, a mural of ornate clay doubles as ancient remains. Inside these four walls, human anatomy elevates to an even greater enigma. Organic, man-made, and “other” shrouded beyond distinction. The only consistent certainty is a human’s need to walk, to discover.

Go inside to get lost. Go outside to go elsewhere. The trail to chase may be clear, it's everything else that’s a mystery.
