Artist Statement

By wrapping a tree in washi and creating a rubbing with handcrafted charcoal, I can capture the wood surface patterns. By using these tree rubbings to wrap various objects around us, a certain kind of unity is born, even if the trees are from varying locations or species.

I work with the fibers and translucency of washi, the smell of burning wood, and artificial, clear plastic. Recently, I also collect pebbles and rubbles of man-made objects. It may be a flimsy world, but we who cling to its surface are sure to be a part of something deeper.

The Guestbook

juddls says: Wonderful energy in dazzling bits of imagined ice, the fossils of communication, passion and thought. A cooling intellectual blessing on a hot summer day.

howard.ptaszek says: Amazing resins

jimfreeman says: Words of the past, and pieces of the natural wold, sealed away from human touch forever. I was haunted by these pieces after I left the studio.

Jie says: I love the originality of your art!
