completed 2004 age 18 Everyday we see so much of the world around us. But how often do we take the time to explore one in detail? There are, for example, many varieties of trees, and within each tree you can see a variety of leaves, and in each leaf a variety of color. Framing a particular moment draws more attention to its detail. Thank you everyone for your comments; they are very inspiring. I even see comments drawing on current issues; which is great. Medium: Watercolors I can’t remember what brand of paint I used; but the pigment was in a tube as opposed to being a dry type that needed to be wetted to use. The background was first wetted, that painted onto, while the subject, I painted onto directly to the dry surface, which I believe was 30 pound paper.

Taken May 20 2007 with a Fuji E-510. See my Hayama calendar. This is located by a beach in Hayama, Japan; the town where I did my internship. Hayama is renowned for the beach and green hills, and this place was just a drive down. Hayama literally means “leaf mountain” in Japanese, and indeed Hayama is full of green mountain. But in this case this mountain in mostly rock, with a bit of green at the top, which is why I inserted “ishi” (meaning “rock”) in the title name.

Completed 2004 age 18 I was inspired by the Japanese artist Hiroshi Senju, who tends to limit his colors in his paintings. Sometimes he paints an image where the background is the complimentary colors of the subject. His style is simple but at the same time intense, where the foreground stands out from the complimentary background. Medium: Watercolors This is a painting done in my sketchbook. The paper isn’t watercolor paper, but at least more durable than regular printing paper.

Medium: ball point pens and markers on acetate The diptych presents several relationships: the position of the diamond flower corresponds to that of the diamond snowflakes. Both images have organic shapes taken from nature, one from spring, the other from winter. The flower has a rough texture and is over a smooth background, while the snowflake has a smooth texture while being over a rough background. Flowers and snowflakes both pertain to seasons; both temporary, and occurring in one phase after another. A snowflake or a flower is barely seen at once outdoors, but here they are made of diamonds, hence they are permanent, and existing at the same time: two parallel moments. See my other dyptich:

Small karps swimming in a pond in Hase Temple (Kamakura, Japan). It was a very hot day; it was one of Japan’s hottest summers (reached 40 degrees celcius), and very bright; hence the reflections. Also available at Zazzle More fish at Hase Temple:

A flower that can last all year round; who wouldn’t want that? I started thinking this might make a nice card…

Completed in 2004, age 17 This is a slightly cropped version of the original, due to the limits of my camera. My original signature got cropped out so I had to insert a new one in photoshop; in the original it is not actually located there. Original size: (40” x 30”) The two subjects are posed in similar positions, each having a dark, circular central focus., Both images have lines above and surrounding the centres, which draw attention towards the centres. The vertical composition help strenghten the feeling of height given by the vertical lines. Both subjects are organic, however one, the eye, has straight lines and geometrical shapes, while the rose has curvy lines and organic shapes. In the eye, the centre is literally dark, while in the flower the darkness is created by shadows.

A flower that can last all year round; who wouldn’t want that? I started thinking this might make a nice card. Something like this may be suited for a happy occasion (e.g. mother’s day) or a romantic occasion.

A sasanqua flower folded from a 15×15 square piece of paper. This was harder to fold than the little crane made by a 6×6mm paper, but easier to photograph.

My origami calendar I hope people aren’t tired of my origami; but I needed to do this before the flower dies; my mom brought some flowers back from a wedding two weekends ago, and when I saw this particular flower, I really wanted to create this image because the centre of this flower looked like a field. The folded peacock is comprised of two piece of paper: one for the body, the other for the tail. The body is made from a 6×6mm paper, and the tail I faned out of a circle about 1cm in diameter which I cut a slit through. The peacock walks through a field of colour and gets pollen on itself; and that is how the peacock got its color!

The biggest challenge came in the smallest size, and it doesn’t take size to love and treasure something. Folded this one out of a 3×3mm piece of trace paper.

For drawing day Medium: marker, pens, pencil crayons and chalk pastel. I was inspired by the Japanese artist Hiroshi Senju, who tends to limit his colors in his paintings. Sometimes he paints an image where the background is the complimentary colors of the subject. His style is simple but at the same time intense, where the foreground stands out from the complimentary background. This drawing however is different from his style; I have done another painting before which is closer to his style: As for the form of the tree, my inspiration came from this: More from Drawing Day: / This work has been featured in: / Color Me a Rainbow

It was fascinating already to see a bloomed flower during the cold of winter. What was even more fascinating was how it glowed in the sunlight. Untouched photo straight from the camera. Taken on December 30th, at Hyde Park (London, UK)

My origami calendar Time passes by so quickly; life is so busy. If I were in the centre of time, could I forever enjoy the moment that is now? Moments are like flowers; enoyable while it still exists, then wears away… Just when I finsh one school project; it’s time to work on another. I cherish moments where I can slowly enjoy my favourite activities… For a better idea of scale of the centre flowers: / This work has been featurede in: / Numbers One to a Trillion

This is from the same bouquet of flowers as in my Little Signs of Spring and Flower Nest. So this would be the first I put up on RB that doesn’t have a piece of origami sitting on it~ This may not be a sunflower, but it does enjoy the sunrise!

Self-portrait I folded a rose from a sheet of acetate. I don’t remember how big that was but that does not matter since this is one of my miniatures. This rose is the same type folded in my Snow Flower, but this one is folded from a transparent sheet. There were several challenges involved in creating this piece. Folding acetate is different from paper due to different physical properties. The central twist of the rose particularly does not maintain it’s form forever in acetate; I would have it held down or take the pic before it untwists itself. I generally have a hard time with self-portraits, and it was also difficult getting both my eye and the rose in focus; and getting the right crop. In addition my eyes are dark, but I also wanted to get enough light in them for the “faded” effect without over exposing the rose. Later I also took this using the same rose:

Lily
by Mui-Ling TehI have another concept in mind coming up involving a bunch, but I made one and thought it looked pretty on it’s own so here is a single one for now. Folded with a 15×15mm piece of paper, and taken with an Olympus FE-340 on 28, 2009 For a better idea of scale: This lily is the same type in my Substitue for a silent mouth of sorrow

In honour of the 11th day of the 11th month; the day that recalls the end of World War I, I fold 11 poppies from 15×15mm pieces of paper. The cross is also made from paper. Remembrance Day – also know as Poppy Day, Armistice Day or Veterans Day – is a day to commemorate the sacrifice of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918. Source: Wikipedia The poppy’s significance to Remembrance Day is a result of Canadian military physician John McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields”. This poem has also been adapted as a song: In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row / That mark our place; and in the sky / The larks, still bravely singing, fly / Scarce heard ‘mid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago / We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow / Loved and were loved, and now we lie / In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe / To you from failing hands we throw / The torch; be yours to hold it high. / If ye break faith with us who die / We shall not sleep / Though poppies grow / In Flanders fields.
