Let's Focus On.....Mui-Ling Teh (Artist Interview)
by Karin TaylorHello everyone! There is a brand new initiative coming from the great creative brain of Red Bubble’s Jo O’Brien...
Hello everyone! There is a brand new initiative coming from the great creative brain of Red Bubble’s Jo O’Brien who has begun a chain of interviews, dedicated to spreading the love and creativity. The fire was first fanned into flame by one of our most dearest bubbly people and friend, the wondrously musically and arty farty Muscular Teeth Now then, my next choice for interviewee had to be the beautiful artist Mui-Ling Teh from Canada who has touched my heart and life deeply with her tiny origami treasures!!!! I wanted to share from my heart that Mui-Ling did something very special for me once, that will remain as one of the kindest most selfless things I’ve ever had happen to me. I had a very ill little friend of my son’s named Mitchell, and Mui-Ling felt compassion and moved by my cry for help and prayers for Mitch…..sooo she pulled out all her origami treasures and upon each one bestowed a prayerful wish for Mitchell’s health to be restored….i was so moved by this gesture of unselfish love and concern, and by all the other people out there, especially ENaLu….who poured forth their prayers, love and thoughts throughout this difficult time. Click here to read more about that day and see the origami that was wished prayerfully over. My other previous interview was with my gorgeous artistic friend from Singapore Fa – stay tuned as you may be next in line!! Because from here, the two bubblers in interviewed, will be interviewing two more of you!!! Soooooooooooooo, without any further ado let me present to you…............................................ Let’s Focus On….....Mui-Ling Teh interview with Karin How does being a creative person and pursuing your creativity affect other aspects of your life? There one thing I can say which has stemmed from creativity, and that is the desire to be my own artist. I took art in high school because I love art, but hated it when my teacher insisted that I had to follow a specific technique; even when the technique I used would produce a similar result, where the teacher would not be able to tell I used my own technique until I share the process. Once my teacher asked me whether I used the “wet-on-wet” or the “wet-on-dry” technique for a particular painting; I told her I mixed my paint on the palettes in different gradients and applied washes, and before even finishing my explanation she got cranky on me. I have various reasons for not majoring in the fine arts in university; one of them being that I like being self-trained and being my own artist and coming up with my own styles and techniques. Not to say that everything I do is entirely original; I take influence from lessons and other artists as well, and I still enjoy doing simple drawings off a photograph. What I just don’t like is when people start putting down rules. Unfortunately I deal with this problem in architecture school as well (and by that I don’t mean dealing with making good designs while making sure it can stand). Sometimes you can have one professor or assistant trying to put rules down on you or insisting that you should follow their suggestion, and then in your final review, you can get a different person who can criticize you doing something which resulted from listening to someone else. It isn’t ALWAYS like that of course, I do have several teachers I liked and appreciated. Some rules are necessary, but only to a certain extent, and those teachers I liked are the ones who provided a good balance between rules and freedom. I think I am more creative outside of a place with rules, and I think I am more likeable when the creative juices flow because people who give me candy end up getting a candy wrapper folded crane or a sailboat from me… :P I love all forms of art, but one which I have become more passionate about recently is origami; and that passion came from reading Sadako and the thousand paper cranes. I keep scraps, but not only do I use them for origami, but any sort of craft and making models (which I do a lot in architecture school). I’m really thrifty, I save my leftovers as opposed to buying a fresh new material for a new project; so I save more financially while saving more trees, though my room gets more packed and messy :P. My mother is a great inspiration; she is very creative when it comes to using paper; she adds origami flower to presents and sometimes makes costumes for Halloween and parties out of various materials. I’m very sentimental, and like to keep whatever I make, and that drives my engineering father crazy. He gets annoyed at me being a pack rat and tells me to get rid of some of my stuff. I hate getting rid of stuff I worked hard on, but admittedly they do take up a lot of space; I’ve got some models I made in school which need to be cleared… Luckily my origami is tiny :P, and I don’t take up much space either lol. Tell us about one person or moment that has made your time on redbubble particularly special or meaningful Mingtees has once told me that she hopes I would get to exhibit my origami as a show sometime, and one day, about two months ago, as I was going for a walk I saw a flyer about an upcoming art show which anybody could apply to for free. I thought this would be a great opportunity to exhibit my little origami series, and that it would be great if I were able to sell them too. It seems that the “wow” factor of my origami is their tiny size, but I wondered whether people would buy them, and if so, for how much. So I posted a journal asking for advice, and the people who responded showed me strong support. These people included Lori Peters, Kenny Gulley Jr., Gail Bridger, Lam Tran, Karin Taylor, and Dawnsky2. I was grateful for each one of them, but no one gave me as much support as Karin Taylor did; perhaps she was more excited about it than I was, and with her suggestions I made a little write-up about my origami passion and made cases for them. I asked Karin what she thought of them, and sure enough she got excited; the time she took to give me feedback, read my statements and look at my display was invaluable. In the end I never heard back from the exhibition, I guess they were not interested. But rather than being depressed over it, I remembered how Karin was so excited about my “tiny treasures” (that’s what she calls my miniature origami), along with all the support from RB members. Although it would have been nice to be a part of that exhibition, but there will always be a big audience out there in RB with people who appreciate my work. This moment on RB was very special to me because although I didn’t make the exhibition, I was not depressed, rather I became more grateful to be a part of a community where I can exhibit my work anytime, and that there will bound to be people who like what I do. Making into an exhibition calls for the judgment of a particular panel, and it really depends on their own tastes what gets accepted, but RB is a big community of artists with different tastes, so even if some don’t offer comments, favorites or sales, there will be other people who will do so. Show & tell us about five works on redbubble that have moved or inspired you It’s sad to only mention five because every artist is special in a different way, and there are so many other works that I can talk a lot about, but if I were to mention everyone and every piece, this would be really long; so I hope no one takes it personally if I didn’t mention them… Plar-Beautifully Blue – A Poem by Adam Stone / Adam has a series of drawings of a cute little creature called Plar which has big eyes and fears nothing. This poem is based on a Plar’s courageous journey. It has a lovely flow and descriptive imagery, but what I loved most of all was the sense of adventure which only the courageous and open-minded can dare to take. Once the journey begins, amazing discoveries unfold becoming a treasure of a life time. It shows that being a risk-taker, or simply daring to take a step forward can make a great impact Sadako’s Wish by Karin Taylor / ! I love origami :D and the story of Sadako. This picture is all about Sadako being taken up into heaven at the moment of her passing from this life to the next, and was produced with a lot of heartfelt meaning incorporating various significant symbols (which are described in the description of the work). This artwork pertains to the story of Sadako, and is about accepting fate and moving on after death. End of Time by linaji / ! Lina’s work is very powerful and imaginative, with deep underlying messages. I often need to look at them twice to really get out of them. Anyhow this image led to a rather intelligent sharing of ideas concerning energy usage, gas consumption, our dependancy on oil and… H20 cars! I would like one of those… Lina seems to know well about different cultures and it is interesting when she compares or alludes to those different cultures. The Other Side of the Fence by Carrie Glenn / I love the way Carrie takes a photo and recreates the setting, she has a great eye for a creative opportuinty. The way she transforms the scenery makes it a totally different place, she shows the same setting in a different dimension. Works like this reminds me of some places I’ve been to where it would change so much from one moment to another. I remember visiting a monument once and it was absolutely quiet and empty, and it was daytime. Some time later I passed it during the night and there was a festival taking place there; it was all decorated and such a different place from what I first saw. Some Scars you Can’t Hide by Steven Novak / ! This image reminds me of how we notice our own scars more than others do, and we cannot hide them from ourselves. Even if we did conceal them, we cannot hide the truth that they exist. The scars which Steven refers to I believe do not only refer to marks on our bodies but scars in our inner selves as well. I was once asked whether I’ve had any memories I wish I didn’t remember. To me it doesn’t make a difference because even if I myself forgot, it doesn’t change the fact that the events occured. Well that’s eveything, Thanks Karin! Mui-Ling —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——- Thank you Mui-Ling!!! I love the depth of meaning Mui-Ling ascribes to each and everything thing she encounters, be it a thought, a concept, an image, an artwork, she never fails to apply herself to thoughtful meditation. Once she has thought it through I find that she offers a mirror back through which one can look and see that they have been thoughtfully considered and understood…which often helps to alleviate the loneliness an artist may feel in their journey. I appreciate this about my friend Mui-Ling very very much. She is extremely honest and kind, and very very very very very very patient. This is obvious when you look at her tiny tiny treasures…these creations must take incredible amounts of patience. Mui-Ling creates her origami by folding with needles and tweezers would you believe. They are in fact so very tiny, only 2-3mm in size once finished. To me, they have a very endearing and special quality, and I find myself deeply drawn to them, it is especially delightful, the way Mui-Ling shares why she does what she does. I love how she will place a little boat along the lifeline of her palm to photograph it…..everything she does is charming and full of meaning. Please look at her creations, and allow them to sit with you a while and just ponder the wonder of these tiny treasures….your heart will be full. Thank you to Mui-Ling Teh and all of you for being a good sports and continuing on this chain of events, as it’s spreading a nice feeling of goodwill to each and everyone on the bubble, and we are learning more about one another. I think it helps us to feel a part of something bigger than just ourselves and to feel buoyed and supported within a community of artists that really do care about one another, even tho it is a competitive market place. It is very unique in that we support each other…a lot different to the corporate world, where there is competition, but everyone gets paid a salary….it is remarkable to me, that here, where competition is strong…that there isn’t more backbiting, jealousy and bitchiness…but rather, because of the struggle…people seem to warm to each other, and put aside the competitiveness in order to foster friendship and goodwill. Much love, / Karin xoxoxo PS i wish that i could have asked so many of you…the list is endless of the people I love here, the people that email back and forth with me, you know who you are, and i love you dearly and deeply with all of my heart….i could only choose two people, but all of you I love for different reasons, because you have touched my heart in other ways….I hope you know i feel awful for not having chosen you….... the way i chose the two interviewees was just looking at the things they had gone out of their way to do….but many of you are way up there as well with things you’ve done for me, i will never forget your love, and your help

I made these when I was in grade 5 (age 10). Our teacher read “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” to our class. One particular moment in the story, Sadako’s mother visits Sadako at the hospital and gives her a piece of paper which her sister saved for her. Sadako takes the paper and says “Mmmm, smells like candy. I hope God likes chocolate”. Everyone laughed including Sadako. Around that time I went through an origami craze and saved bits of paper and candy wrappers to do origami out of them. Mmmm… kitkat and hershy’s cookies ‘n creme… (I don’t eat this stuff as much now :P) For those who don’t know the story of the thousand paper cranes, there is a legend that says if you fold 1000 peace cranes, your wish will come true. Sadako Sasaki suffered from leukemia, and folded cranes while she was in the hospital in how of getting better. More cranes:
