sketching has always played an important role in chen’s creation process. ‘i see sketching as a series of dates with an idea before we enter a committed relationship. if i really like it after the first few dates and we get along, i will then bring the idea into real existence by making physical models.’ chen considers the sketching and hatching process very reflective. ‘the labour-intensive and time-consuming process allows time and space for second thoughts and refinement. a form of calibration and purification. i also enjoy playing in the ambiguous space between dimensions and perspectives. just a pencil and piece of paper.’
