“When I was younger, I had this strange exposure to both religion and science. They were both fed to me with a kind of high tension between them. My mom didn’t believe in buying toys, partly because she didn’t see the point, and partly because toys were super expensive. So I made a lot of my own toys.

I had this idea of myself as a kind of mad scientist. I’d get hand me down toys from my cousins, break them apart, take bits from different things, maybe grab a toothpick or aluminium foil, and suddenly it becomes some cyborg creature. It was very destructive.

But it all makes sense to me now: the destruction and the recreating. It’s basically what I do in my collages. I destroy images: I go deep diving online, or even scroll through my iPhone, take whatever image I find, tear it apart, and then from the ashes create something new. That’s always been how I view my process.”

Artist Hirendran Sivaganam aka HIRASHE (hirashe_), spoke at length about how growing up in their late grandmother’s Taman Desa home continues to echo through their artistic practice today.

Through stories, observations, and familiar realities from the Malaysian creative scene, he looks at how we define success, who gets to stay “independent,” and why the line between commercial and underground has never really been as clear as it seems.

“Well, I knew that I really wanted to be in acting and filmmaking so I kept going. I was the sound guy during my internship, but I knew I had to work harder to better myself.

My dad gave me some advice before, which translates to something like, “If you want to be a fisherman, make sure you’re a fisherman with many boats. If you want to be a farmer, make sure you’re a farmer with acres of paddy fields.” If you want to do something, put in the work to make sure you can be the best at what you do.

So when I decided I wanted to become a filmmaker, I knew I had to keep moving, keep learning, keep growing. I would need to start my own production house, direct my own films and one day, I want those films to be shown at the box office. That’s the mindset my dad taught me, to always give your best, and never give up.”

Director and actor Nadhir Nasar (👽) spoke to us on his journey to realise his work both in front and behind the silver screen 🎥

In each issue of Process Magazine, we have a ‘Zine within a Zine’ segment that showcases interesting printed works from the region. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For Volume Three, the publication “Meeting People Is Easy” by artist Gan Siong King (Gan Siong King) will be republished for you to enjoy!
⁣⁣
The zine was created in conjunction with his open studio project held in Kuala Lumpur back in September 2017. It explores the solitary nature of art-making and how open studios foster new ideas and conversations. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This re-publication includes three out of five segments from the original 64-page zine.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A segment featured in Process Magazine is a conversation between four friends, Wong Tay Sy, Chang Yoong Chia, Tan Sei Hon, and Gan Siong King who came together to record a conversation about some of the art projects they collaborated on 15 years ago (circa 2000 – 2004), along with their experiences as art practitioners in Malaysia.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A big thank you to Gan and Joshua of A+ Works of Art (A+ WORKS of ART) for their generous permission to republish the zine in Process Magazine Volume Three: “Perspective as Practice”. ⁣⁣
⁣
Last few copies of the magazine is available now on our website and at stockists near you! 📸

“You’re right, the whole 3D printing process is quite technical. I think Driv did a good job in studying the technical side of it, while I handle product design.

To be honest, it’s a very trial-and-error process, which is not easy because we don’t come from a 3D design background. However, I see it as a good thing too because as beginners, we can explore with a very pure intention.

The first product we created was a vase, the BNG vase. The whole process was smooth, and it took place all in one night. I started to draw some shapes, then we turned it into a 3D model, and then we went straight to printing. Halfway through the printing process, I thought the shape would make a nice container, like a trinket box. That’s how we got to our second product, the BNG trinket box.”

Through small-scale, made-to-order 3D printing, SAD Studio (SAD) co-founder, tattoo artist and illustrator Sugee Wee (舒淇黃) shares their journey in the beginning, and their experimental approach in product design.
