Summer

It is a mixed-media piece of Chinese rice paper on a piece of canvas using Chinese black ink, oil pastel and water color. This piece tries to show my identity.

The Opposites

Trying to use two completely opposite mediums (reed and plaster) to make opposite forms.

Negatives

I made a mold with wood and put it on a spinning table and made two forms with plaster. Then combined two forms . Colors were used to emphasize the negative spaces that were created in between forms.

Yin Yang

Yin Yang is my interpretation of the eastern and western lifestyle.This is a mixed media collage piece of rice paper, lined paper, ball point pens, Chinese ink, acrylic, oil paint. I am trying to create a harmony in between eastern and western mediums. I used softer brush strokes for western mediums and stronger strokes for the eastern mediums.

Past

I drew a comical self-portrait and added pieces that I stripe off from my old abstract art work. The bubble expresses my past passions.

Time

Different pictures of products made by wood were used to build a spiral repetition. It symbolized the the tree rings inside of a tree trunk.

Dreams of Starburst

Each of my friends were given a piece of Starburst. After they finished the candy, I asked them to fold anything with the wrapping paper. Then I collected them and continue their story.
