One of my projects that was nominated is my COPE floods illustrated picture book..
And the other is my HK Willow Pattern ceramics collection in green and gold. You can see the entry here.

ceramic sale!
Faux in HK are having an Easter sale for the whole month of April. You can purchase my HK toile and HK willow collections for 30% off! Now’s your chance!

Unfortunately, due to the current coronavirus situation, I feel that the right thing to do is postpone my exhibition to some point later in the year. Don’t go out and about! Stay in and stay safe!

Tokyo, JAPAN -- Six international artists will showcase their new mokuhanga works at CfSHE Gallery in Tokyo, Japan which opens on Wednesday, May 29th, 2019. This exhibition titled, Into the Fold, is the result of an ongoing creative conversation where artists respond to themes of folding/unfolding, portability, lineage, and community using mokuhanga as the primary medium.
『Into the Fold 国際木版画家6名の競演』
海外及び日本在住の国際木版画家が東京CfSHEギャラリーに集いInto the Fold展を開催いたします。

アーティストは、アメリカ、日本・イギリス・韓国出身の６名。彼らは日本とアメリカの間で木版画を学んだり教えたりすることを通して繋がりを持っています。
日本の水性木版画という意味の Mokuhanga というキーワードは、海外でも日本の伝統木版画に関連した道具材料を使って制作する現代アーティストの間で使われています。今回の作家は Mokuhanga で制作する多くの現代アーティストとともに、旧長沢アートパークと国際木版画ラボ（MI-LAB）という二つのレジデンスを通して繋がるアーティストや日本の数少ない摺り師・彫り師からの教授を受け継いでいます。
