Been awhile since we had a request like this… still feel that even in a digital age.. Miniatures have a strange power… they compress history, memory and identity into small spaces. Or maybe it’s just me and my age talking 😃
Had the opportunity to set up this exhibit for Fernvale Primary School’s Social Studies showcase:
* Singapore 60s shophouse and trades scene
* Jungle training / Total Defence
* National Day Parade at the Padang
Hopefully the students don’t just “look” at the models, but imagine the people, stories and eras behind them…
Also it’s been awhile since I’ve entered a primary school.. the traditional tuckshop and bookshop brought back memories!
