Do you feel like every time you open the newspaper: information and images explode and punch your
face - expressions of frustration, energy, aggression, movement and noise?
Artist book, "The Crooked Times" seeks a spin on the information overload of today, channelling
newspaper visuals from ‘The Straits Times’ into a wicked wit and sense of humour - poking fun
and your mind to see what it might not otherwise see.

The cover aims to sharply communicate the content of the book - newspaper images - but with the lack
of it, depicting a newspaper spread with all images cut out from it.
It takes the form of an unbound booklet allowing the reader to shuffle the pages to create even more
humorous compositions with the newspaper photographs, simply by chance.
