Mary Bernadette Lee worked with Tamimi on a lino printing project for Time on Our Hands helmed by Co:Creation. This is the latest collaboration between the pair as Mary felt that she could challenge Tamimi further. She hoped to expose him to something different, but still keep true to his interest in drawing and the digital realm like games.
Time on Our Hands is a digital showcase of collaborative works and creative processes between four Singapore artists with community partners.
This project features a range of tactile and hands-on creative techniques, demonstrated by the artists and their collaborators.

Time On Our Hands
“Time on Our Hands” is a showcase of collaborative works and creative processes between Singapore artists with community partners. Especially for this project, Mary Bernadette Lee and Tamimi Pohan have teamed up to bring to you this experience.
Time can be a conduit for our creative energies, and through our hands, stewards us to make meaning and connect with ourselves. This kit was created as a companion to the video content for you to create your own artworks to the same techniques and mediums presented by the artists.
More on their story and process.
