For some of my commissions, such as the work for the Conrad Centennial Hotel in Singapore, I had to come up with an alternative technique. This is because the quantity required was large, and there was not much time. The Art consultant was in Los Angeles, and every morning, I would have to fax her samples of ‘images’.

With so much technology available to us, it is now possible to combine traditional crafts, computers and printing machines to achieve a unique aesthetic.
