| | Dear Friends,
How have you been?
Hope you have been well in this crazy
weather of ours. It's pouring wildly
here at my place but I'm enjoying every
bit of the weather.
This is an invitation to my solo show
which will be held at Your Mother
Gallery, run by Jeremy Hiah and Lina
Adam. I've been making some works since
the start of this year and I thought
I'd like to share them with you.
I hope to see you. Free drinks and food
and come party since it's a friday!
Details of the show are written below.

#8216;What will you dream tonight?#8217; The
quirky in your face title of the art
exhibition by local Fine Art Graduate,
Jacklyn Soo asks the complimenting
curiosity and lure of dreaming and day-
dreaming. What goes on in your mind
when we day-dream?
Jacklyn investigates this in a series
of drawings in which she paints
portraits of strangers and friends who
share their dreams with her. In the
same series, some of these characters
are fictional characters create to
portray and interpreted what some of
her own dreams are.
Jacklyn also uses dreams as a metaphor
in identity. To be someone you have
always dreamt to be or to dream
achieving your wants intrigued the
Artist to create these pictorial images
in her first solo show. There will be a
short musical performance at the
opening by the Artist#8217;s own indie-pop
band, The Mad Hatter#8217;s Tea Party.
The Mad Hatter#8217;s Tea Party is Wai Kit
and Jacklyn. Formed in last then three
months, the duo has been writing and
producing songs of love, of lost, of
memories, childhood, nature and peace.
The name, Mad Hatter#8217;s Tea Party was
the inspiration behind a common affair
with the psychedelic pictorial images
of Arthur Rackham and Lewis Carroll#8217;s
elegant and sophisticated story-
writing. Mad Hatter#8217;s Tea Party
emphasises on the enjoyment/attainment
of all human emotions, of
communication, of attending social
parties, of making new friends,
catching up with old friends, of
spreading and sharing love and
happiness all round.
