The exhibition features the installations of the clay artist who meditates on Dr Wee's place in the world between different societies, homes, and conceptual influences.

Dr. Hong-Ling Wee is a Singaporean ceramicist who is based in New York City. Her solo show "In Flux" at The Private Museum, Singapore, from 16 March to 6 May, 2018 presents three series of ceramic works, Brooklyn, Moxie, and My Family Portrait, and showcases the first-ever blacksmithing works by a Singaporean female artist. Dr Wee kindly gave SP Blog an interview about her show and practice.

(Podcast) Dr Wee came in to have coffee with Claressa to discuss the incredible story of how she went from being a NASA scientist to giving it all up to become a Ceramicist and a bit more about her solo exhibition 'In Flux' at The Private Museum.
