A grip on curiosity

These stills belong to a choreography I prepared in 2008 as a birthday gift for a friend who had suffered a car accident the same year.

I drew inspiration from a phrase she used to quote. "We have been born to fly..." 

The music score is by Phillip Glass and The Kronos Quartet.

The Natural World

The following series draws inspiration from the natural world and its array of shapes. Using recycled carton, I worked following its curves- like the flower above - where I juxtaposed the cut outs and stitched them to form a three dimensional structure. The other patterns are more playful in their display of lines and colours.

The air that I dance

This drawing on ink aims to express the desire and longing

a dancer experiences when he/she can no longer perform.

While sitting in contemplation, the dancer is lifted by the impulse of a

powerful inner dream...Dance

Japanese lost book on tram

The background of these interventions are the pages of a book someone might have forgotten on the tram. 

Part of me felt uneasy about tearing the pages for these images I made using pencil, ink, red paint and tea bags. However, it was hard to resist the beauty that Japanese characters have in themselves so I guess I sought to read in a different way.
