Shadow puppets with Richard Bradshaw
We've been learning shadow puppetry with the most wonderful and the delightful Richard Bradshaw at Spare Parts Puppet Theatre.
I feel so fortunate to be able to learn from him and listen to him talk and watch him perform!
It's been so incredible - so much more than I can say in words.
First attempt at making shadow puppets..

Puppetry training at Spare Parts Puppet Theatre
I've been doing an intensive training program at Spare Parts Puppet Theatre in Fremantle,Western Australia. I have no background in performing arts or anything of this sort at all but have always had a dream of creating characters for puppet shows or working with shadow puppets with my paper-cut works.
It's so difficult but I'm thoroughly enjoying every minute of this incredible program.
Next week, we'll have Richard Bradshaw, the master of shadow puppetry, to teach us his art!

Small Gathering - exhibition
 |
| Kokeshi |
Collection of small ceramic figurines shows worlds of creatures from my childhood memories and stories. This new medium has taken me an interesting direction from adapting 2D works into 3D representations since last year and I'm so excited to be showing these works for the first time in Melbourne after my two solo exhibitions in Hong Kong and New York last year.

Melbourne Art Book Fair 2016
 |
| an illustration from Following, 2016 |
I have been extremely fortunate to be working with Jeff, Andrea (Jeff Maser Bookseller) and unbelievably talented graphic designer Stephen Horsley at Propellant in London.
The book is called 'Following' and is a visual book (with a short intro) with only images to guide the story through. Story is based on my secret experience of seeing a little boy who followed me when I was a child.
Jeff, Andrea and Stephen did such a marvelous job designing this book - when I saw Stephen's mock-up design, it was one of the most exciting moment in my work.
My huge respect to graphic designers.
I'll be there at NGV with Jeff and Andrea and there is an exciting launch event on 1 May, 2:30-3:00!
We'll be displaying original artwork and we'll say a few words...
If you are free, please come and we can chat too!
