Toeingam Guptabutra’s theme is time and its different meanings in Eastern and Western cultures. She works with sound and other time-based media. She has been working in mixed media since 2002 when she had her first solo show at the Bangkok University Art Gallery, winning critical acclaim. In 2005, she received her PhD in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts & Design in London. Her current practice in Bangkok is concerned with visual art - not only with its production, but also its research and theory.

The Work: An artist who works with time and sound in a community-based context, Guptabutra has employed all her usual methods for More to Love. Working with HIV+ children in terms of allowing them to express their inner thoughts, she collaborated with the composer Khun Tul to create sounds that represent the children’s hope and sense of normality.
