作为书法研究的工作者，我一直觉得本地书法文化太中国化，不能像其他艺术一样拥有本土意识，我开始思考如何才能把书法提升到应有层次。
在2006与2009年到了中国安阳，看到了中国书法的老祖宗--甲骨文与金文。而这一次带给我的是震撼与感动。当然，除了甲骨文与金文，还有许多的碑文与墨迹。回到马来西亚后，我继续探讨与思考，融合中国书法文化与马来西亚本土文化之特点，用于自己的书法作品上。而这次展出的的作品，就是到访中国后，受甲骨文影响而制作出的作品。
In 2006 and 2009, I visited Anyang, China. I was shocked and moved when I saw in person, examples of oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions. They are both the prototype of today's Chinese calligraphy.
But as a lifelong student of calligraphy, I have always felt that Malaysian Chinese calligraphy is overly influenced by its roots in China. And rarely take inspiration and elements from the diverse local culture in Malaysia when compared to other art forms.
Still of Mind is informed by my encounter with the oracle bones. And the result of my continued exploration of ways to integrate the characteristics of Chinese calligraphy with local Malaysian culture.
