The realms of the unknown and the known of the everyday intrigues Shazwany. By being both an observer and a participant, her work unfolds out of a deep fascination to use the metaphor of movement to express and capture the fleeting moments of daily life, where she uses them as subjects for her work. Materials such as time, space, situations and unspoken ideas are used, carried out via drawing, printmaking and painting. She views the drawing form as a representation of motion – of how it starts and ends in movement. It can carry on without closure or completion, continually part of a process, neverending.
Shazwany is an artist, children’s art teacher and web developer who works and lives in Singapore. Often intrigued by the unknown and the known of the everyday, Shazwany uses time, space, situations and unspoken ideas to capture the fleeting moments of everyday life. Working predominantly in drawings, collage, paintings and prints, the abstract language is explored by way of textures, tones, shapes and patterns within a composition.
