You are not Alone

My new work, Thinking of You 1 & 2

Thinking of You 2

“Thinking of You 1 & 2”
94 x 94cm each
Mixed media on canvas, framed

We have lost our freedom to travel because of the Corona pandemic at the moment. We can still talk on the phone, we can see each other on the monitor srteens, but I still feel the distance.

We can’t touch, smell or feel the warmth of other people through machines.

I created the artwork while thinking of someone who lived far away and wish for them a happy and healthy life.
You are not alone.

Beauty of impermanence

Mono no Aware

Gallery window

“Mono no Aware” is a Japanese term for the beauty of impermanence.
I was inspired by a lot of holes on leaves in the English style rose garden.
I made 108 paper leaves then I cut out holes one by one.
I made more than 3,000 beautiful holes in total. Wow what a number!

I am so glad that it went very well as I planned and I am overwelmed to receive many possitive comments about my origami installation.

Whirlpool of love

 Glen St Theatre exhibition

whirlpool of love

I was inspired to create “Whirlpool of Love” by the story of Lake Te Anau in New Zealand and the Japanese story of the Red String.
The lake became wild because a woman didn’t keep a secret…

Dozen Roses and special knot

Give me a smile each time I see it.

Origami works

I hand painted with the traditional Japanese paints on Japanese washi paper.
Then folded origami roses one by one.
I added a knot with a red string – Double leaf knot is a very special knot which bring you a very good luck.

As a creator myself, I am so happy what I created.
Gives me a big smile each time I see the work.
