Edward Tsui: Edward Tsui (a.k.a. Sundial, previously in this blog) is a visual artist in Toronto. The built-environment, whether it is architecture, interior space, building parts or in a larger context, the urban form, has always been fascinating to me. From architectural practitioner to sculptor, my passion on the subject has manifested itself with increased vehemence. For me, sculptures free themselves from pragmatism without sacrificing on polemics. It is a vehicle that allows more possibilities on emotional as much as cognitive explorations. My works dissect the familiar archetypes of architecture and urban landscapes, breaking them down to re-emerge as concrete sculptures. Through this process, I encourage the audience to look at their surroundings in different light. It is the unlearning of this familiarity, making room for new ways of seeing and interacting with buildings that intrigue me.
