Hi,
I’m Joo Choon Lin.
I am an artist from Singapore and i make stop-motion animations and installations.
My animation is made from multiple and meticulously executed drawings . My work incorporates live action and localised context to create narratives that blur fact and fiction. And also, my sketches also take the form of sculptural marquette. I work spontaneously as I nurtures my story each day with make-belief and with surreal consequences. Every subsequent frame escapes, and dissipates from the previous: One event leads to the next without a script. While not deliberate, there is a concurrent mood of escapism and introspection in my work, reflecting the artist’s nonchalant attitude to the hype of new media, preferring something more material and craftlike.

Welcome to the site.
Thank you.
“I love children and learn so much from being around them. I realise that many of our world’s problems today – from the inner city crime, to large scale wars and terrorism, and our overcrowded prisons – are a result of the fact that children have had their childhood stolen from them. The magic, the wonder, the mystery, and the innocence of a child’s heart, are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world. I really believe that.
What, what we need to learn, what we need to learn from children isn’t childish. Being with them connects us to the deeper wisdom of life which is everpresent, and only asks to be lived. They know the solutions that lie waiting to be recognised within our own hearts. Today, I would like to thank all the children of the world, including the sick and deprived . . . I am so sensitive to your pain.” -MJ
