In her series Specimen Garden, Pamela Poh Sin Tan transforms her interest in natural systems into stunning sculptures that utilize sand-coated laser-cut steel embellished with chalcedony stone beads. Drawing from her Chinese-Malaysian heritage, she marries contemporary artistry with traditional themes of fragility and beauty. Her works create a surreal coral-like ecosystem, reflecting her fascination with nature's intelligent structures. Tan's artistry emphasizes the harmony between the natural and the artistic, inviting viewers into an imaginative space that balances elegance and complexity.
Inspired by the ethereal elegance of natural systems-coral, roots, jellyfish, diatoms-these works reflect my fascination with the subtle, intelligent structures of the natural world.
Each piece feels like a living fragment of a surreal coral garden-plant-like in posture, reef-like in texture, and jewel-like in detail.
