finally getting around to posting about my show, Borrowed Memories, with Tran Nguyen, at Thinkspace Gallery that opened back in September!  

i had a lot of fun making the pieces that were bridging 2D & 3D worlds, and some with a lot of patterns that i'd been obsessed with...

the opening was so much fun - got to meet a lot of young artists and old friends, new friends. :)
and lots of people i've known for a while but hadn't met in person. thank you, everyone, who came out to the show and for making the night so wonderful!!!!

before starting all the pieces for this show, i'd been making a lot of stuff (as opposed to drawing/painting) for personal projects - which surprisingly made it hard for me to start painting, as if my head was stuck in a 3D rut. so as a compromise, i made these wooden shapes, so i felt like i was sculpting (though flat), while still painting. thus was born this Ikiryo Series.

    Gorgeous work! I really hope you will be able to make a print out of "Lasya".

    I have a print of "Like a Restless Wind". I personally would love to put Laysa and Restless "back to back", in this mirror image of being wrapped up and then being free.

    2. It´s all very weird. I can´t enter the website in 2 pcs and a mac with 3 different web browsers, my sis iphone enters it but mine doesn´t, somehow firefox with thor in my pc where it doesn´t enter with google chrome is working.
