Hin Chua's Magnetic North

Magnetic North can be considered a base camp, a general point of reference for my wanderings and ramblings.

A 2011 Resolution

A New Years’ resolution for 2011 has been to write more about myself, for myself. I’m not talking about your run-of-the-mill “personal press releases” designed to convince people how talented and wonderful I am (because hell, that’s stating the blooming obvious isn’t it?)

Instead, I want to perforate the impenetrable veneer of the professional artist, to discuss some of what goes on behind the scenes and to talk honestly and truthfully about my practice, its challenges and some of the moments of pure joy or terror that I often experience. Uncertainty is such a critical conceptual and practical component the way I make images, and I want to try better communicate that in textual form.

I’m not overly concerned about writing to build an audience or a brand and I’m under no illusions that anyone other than myself may be interested in this. But that’s the point: I need to hold myself accountable, I need to remind myself what I’ve accomplished and what still needs to be done.

Roll on 2011!
