SERENDIPITY by Melissa Lin, August 14 - 31 2009






Lead by serendipity down the rabbit hole, reality is re-imagined.Threading into the domains of lost and ancient lands, and divingthrough hyperspace to explore hidden dimensions, the arcane andarchaic are discovered. Strange and familiar characters, moody and morbid angels, mercurialtricksters, shape-shifters, goddesses, lemmings and psychonauts weavethrough Chaos, celebrating anomalies, community and relationships.This body of work explores the ideas of duality, the dichotomy betweenillusion and mystery. It is also a tribute to the sacred spaces thatexists inside ourselves and in our environments.


Melissa Lin was born in 1982 in the sometimes balmy city of JohorBahru. She has studied in Singapore, Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur.Her paintings have been exhibited in Kuala Lumpur, Indonesia,Singapore, Burma and Copenhagen.She enjoying being off with the fairies when they call.
