Tiffany Wee Wen Jing is an interdisciplinary artist based in Singapore. She is currently completing a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Fine Art at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts conferred by University of the Arts London. Collaborating with the creative agency, Celosiafields, she worked on the set design and production for ‘Tatsuya and Moog’. The film was shortlisted as a finalist for the Catchlight Film Festival presented by Sony in 2023, and was highly commended in the Northern Beaches 2023 Environmental Art & Design Prize with exhibition at Manly Art Gallery & Museum, Sydney. She has also exhibited namely at the Cookhouse Gallery, London (2025) and the Flagship Genius Featuring Ayutthaya IV exhibition, Singapore (2023). Her material-based practice are explorations of ontology through materiality. This tactility attunes with the inherent mutability of matter. Her perennial interest in formation and how form takes shape explores the biotic and abiotic - referencing the scales and spectra of formation from the mycorrhizal cellular relationship of fungal hyphae to surrounding plant roots, the extended cognition of spiders to their webs, to the geological time of rocks. She works across experimental methods and mediums such as bioplastic, metal, clay, wood and fibre. Recognising the formation of matter as an emergence from the ongoing entanglement between matter and atmosphere, her most recent project with water-ice mediates with this ephemeral interface where change becomes visible.

Statement:
02:52:54, 28°C, 1129ml are the duration, temperature and volume of this particular ice block when it melted. Working with freezer ice in a tropical climate, its melting is a direct response to the atmosphere it finds itself in. In this research, agency is explored beyond anthropocentrism — focusing on the mutable and active nature of matter. It exposes the agentic affect of the atmosphere towards equilibrium, with ice as its ontological collaborator. Drawing upon New Materialist thought, namely Karen Barad’s ‘Agential Realism’, a theory that reworks ontology and our understanding of matter through quantum physics.
