papers by the spey
2023 / food grade paper, food dye / varying sizes
The opening of Macallan House at Raffles Hotel, Singapore, featured a collaborative display of local artistry, organised by Directions Group Inc. The event showcased a paper installation by Ching Kai, inspired by Scotland's River Spey, with carefully selected food dyes and food-grade paper used to craft vibrant landscapes as centrepieces for selected tables. This choice of materials allowed for an experimental approach, as edible art created by pastry chefs Kenneth Seah and Elena Perez de Carrasco was served within the installation.
The collaboration included ceramic artist Genevieve Ang and floral designer FLOUR, highlighting the diversity of Singaporean talent. Together, these elements seamlessly integrated into the luxurious setting of Macallan House, celebrating the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the venue.
First exhibited at the Launch of Macallan House, Raffles Hotel, Singapore, by Directions Group Inc, 2023.
