Can I Grow A Sculpture? emerged in response to Faris' desire to discover new methods for creating his signature works that are less time-consuming and labour-intensive.

Embracing the experimental ethos of Workshopables, this project represents the artist's endeavour to relinquish control and rigidity in his artistic process. It involved digitally growing a sculpture, relinquishing full control over its visual outcome by allowing computers and software to take the lead.

This work was a part of Workshopables: The Exhibition held at Supernormal Gallery,

Singapore.

"Workshopables is an experiment in pedagogy, aesthetics and sustainability amongst Singapore artist. In this project, participants did three things: teach, learn, and make."
