Tiffany Singh

On the 14^th October we had a lecture with Tiffany Singh, an artist that is alive with her artwork, through the meaning of colours. Singh has transformed her artwork by interacting with a lot of people and has been working extensively. She has also been volunteering working in Aotearoa, India and Nepal and especially Samoa. Her practice is sculpturing and she also uses music and in her artwork she uses wax to make Buddhism and other religious stuff in her art. (My view) In her practice she uses a formula she made up for her practice, Singh is very interested at what people would do if they exchange stuff for her artwork. The colour she uses in her practice reminds me of the colour of the rainbow and that her art is also seems to feel so alive is because of the colours she uses in her practice. Singh also says ‘that the colour is what blinds everything together’ I really don’t understand but I have a feeling what she means by it. Every time I look at a colourful paper my eyes seems to can’t stop staring un-till my eyes start to blur and that I can’t see straight. But in her case she uses the seven chakras system, (my point of view) a meditation method use from monks to concentrate to adapt energy inside of them. They use nature or elements or religious stuff. This is the meaning to the colours she uses in her practice is that when she makes an sculpture of the virgin Mary and other gods she uses the colours to embrace the Gods (which means every colour has a meaning to its own purpose).

My favourite colour is Green because it’s the colour of freedom. The reason why I choose this colour is that its one of my personal life and that it would stop the discrimination around the world and stop wars like killing other people or judging others and that this colour would bring us together as one.
