Revisiting the Previous Works -- Snow Ball Tower (2013)

     To prepare a Powerpoint presentation for the artist talk at Tulsa Community College Center 4 Creativity, I'm re-visiting my old photos and videos of my works.  I am going to share them here, too.

Snow Ball Tower (2013)

     In the winter 2013, we had a lot of snow in Wichita.  My kids and I started making a snowman, but instead, we ended up with this snow ball tower.


     That night, the tower touched the moon...!



     Next morning, it fell down unfortunately, but I made more towers after that.  



     Then we had another round of snow...


     Nest morning, it looked like this.


     The fresh snow covered all the footprints of mine.  


     Some animals' footsteps in the fresh snow proved the presence of early risers.  


     I found that stacking multiple snow balls in cold weather was just a tedious and tiresome job.  However, during the process, I encountered things from nature that were alive and interacting with the towers, which made me discover the beauty of this process-oriented ephemeral land art.

Video Clip of Origami Cranes in Blue on YouTube

     I have uploaded a short video clip of "Origami Cranes in Blue" to my YouTube channel.  This work was installed for a show at NU Steckline Gallery in 2018.  It took some time for me to upload it and publish it.  I hope this video will refresh your memory if you were there.

Thank You for the Final Friday Opening for "From Memory to Memory"

     I'm so grateful for all of the attendants at the Final Friday opening and the number of red dots that were posted.  It was bittersweet to say goodbye to the work because they were so special to me, but I hope that they will bless their new owners and their new homes.  To those who are wondering if I'm selling my installations, I would gladly take commissions and make similar works.  The show will be up for another week and will end on August 3rd.  The gallery is always open by appointment or by chance.

Final Friday Opening "From Memory to Memory"

     Final Friday is coming soon!  My show "From Memory to Memory" is up at the Fiber Studio on Commerce St., Wichita, KS.  I am showing 40 works from my 10 year artistic career.  Some of them, I had never shown in public venues before.  Many of you who became friends with me recently might have seen my installations, but may not be very familiar with my paintings and drawings.  In fact, my paintings and drawings have become  the base ideas for my installations and vice versa.  I have received many questions and comments about the works and personally, I found this show very interesting and meaningful.  I know it's hot, but this Final Friday, it seems like many other awesome artist friends are showing their works at various venues as well.  If you have time, come out, stop by and say hello to me!

Opening Reception of "From Memory to Memory"

     Thank you to those of you who came to the opening reception of my show at the Fiber Studio last night!  I had a great time seeing my friends and making new friends!  I am so grateful that several pieces of my painting and drawing found their new homes!  

     In this show, 26 paintings, 11 drawings, and one installation, from different stages of my 10-years artistic career are included.  Some of them, I had hardly shown in public venues.  People asked me about the stories behind these works and it surely made me recall memories from the past.  

     I built the installation "Gift" site specifically this time and it ended up running through the whole space of the gallery with three rooms and made its biggest setting so far.  It is not possible to take one picture that has the entire piece in it; if you have time, please come in person and see the whole piece and walk through it.  The show will continue through Final Friday, July 26 and close August 3. The gallery is always open by appointment or by chance.  phone: 316-303-1996 or email: fiberstudio1@gmail.com
