| Description |
1. English: Truncated at the wrist and seemingly over-sized, they emphasise or draw attention to certain details of the sculpture, such as to the eyes/breasts in the former and to the veil in the latter. The former figure appears as though it has an outer skin with apertures specially cut out to expose the eyes or breasts within. Through posture and gesture, My Veil? Asks questions about the role of certain women’s attire today. Eng Teng’s strategy as an artist is skilful and intelligent and succeeds in prompting concepting questions about a complex subject although he stresses that his work is not in any way making a statement, political or social. This item of clothing is suggestively shortened to expose the lower half of the torso/face, so it is no longer concealing what can be considered the more private parts. Eng Teng explains, “There are a few works on veiled faces, inspired by the outlawed Al-Akram movement in Malaysia. Years back, I would see a few of their women in our MRT train, all in black, including veil, gloves and socks, leaving only the two eyes visible. They can look at you but you only see their eyes. I feel at a disadvantage. This sort of feeling started me off on the veiled figures.” (Bodies Transformed, Ng Eng Teng in the Nineties, Page 42). 2. English: Unveiling (Body Talk series) 3.
