Ginkgo & Origami

 Recently, I found some old pieces I casted at school.  They were casted in bronze from organic material - dried ginkgo leaves. I am developing an idea that would combine my previous designs inspired by ginko seeds & fertilizaton with these ginkgo leaves.  I'm intrigued by the potential of combining my more abstract pieces with pieces from nature.

I want to share a documentary film I recently saw "Between the Folds" filmed by Vanessa Gould. I was amazed by all the wonderful possibilities of a simple form - hand folded paper! It can be transformed into very complicated 3D forms that I would never have imagined. The beautiful origami not only has delicate craftsmanship in art, but also greatly influences scientific research. It has enlightened a new world in art, science and philosophy and given me a new perspective on the creative process.  Be sure to check out the link!

Where to find "Play" ?

Work in Pearson Airport

  My studio mate and I have a group show " RED " which is currently exhibiting in Toronto Pearson Airport. This is our last stop showing in Toronto. It has been showing in two different galleries since September. This will be your last chance to see it in Toronto so Don't miss it!
  Due to the fact that it's in the airport, we haven't have a chance to see it yet. Luckily, I have a friend was flying back home, and he saw our show!! Wooohooo ~ He kindly took a picture for one of my pieces. Thank you laaa Jonathan. It's a very nice photo. I hope you enjoyed our lovely creation.

Play

I have been looking for new ways for adding colours in silver jewellery. Recently I have developed a new collection called “Play”. Like the name, the jewellery is colourful, unique and fun, to represent my excitement, anticipation and joy in life. With the simple forms, “Play " is emphasized with various color combination using polymer clay and resin. 

It takes a lot of patience to make those tiny balls with polymer clay. I usually turn on music or television to keep me company so I don't drive myself crazy. No matter how tedious those ball seem like, I feel satisfied. It's actually FUN!!
