At Home with Sebastian Mary Tay

How different is your day now working at home now as an artist?
All my classes at different institutions were moved online just before circuit breaker was imposed. At first, delivering lectures online took a little getting used to. Now that the academic semester has ended, I can fully indulge in the thinking and making processes of practice. There are spatial constrains working from home. Nevertheless, practice must continue, and it will find new ways into technological space.

Have you taken up any new projects, like a new hobby? Or picked up an old project?
Digging up old recipes, finding new ones, catching up on books and readings, spending more time caring for my fish. I had a new betta fish spawn; the wee fry are weeks old now and growing so well!

A recipe you might like to share?
Recently found an old recipe from years ago - peach cobbler - an old, rustic, and absolutely delicious recipe that is most appropriate for the hot weather.

A quote that has struck you particularly during this time.
“Things will not go back to normal” (Slavoj Žižek, 2020)

What’s the first thing you will want to do the minute the lockdown ends?
Head down to the river to catch (and release) a couple of fish; sit down in a café with a book; meet up with friends for food; have a picnic; visit the aquarium - I can’t decide which to do first!
