'Jalan Jati or "Teak Road' traces the historic, material and poetic journeys of a 1950s teak bed that was found in a Singapore karang guni junk store, back to a location in Southeast Asia where the original teak tree may have grown. The project comprises photography, woodprint collage and stop-motion animation. Jalan Jati connects cross-cultural natural histories, micro and macro arboreal influences and DNA timber tracking technology.

'A preview of the first year of work on this project will be presented at the French Academy of Architecture in Paris September to October 2011 together with a symposium on "The Material Lives of Wood in Art, Architecture & Ecology".

'Jalan Jati was shortlisted for the French Prix COAL, Art & Ecology Prize May 2011.' (from website of Nanyang Technological University)
