Nu You | April 10 Issue

I still haven't gotten the article translated so have no idea what's written here. I'm guessing they're all good stuff?

It was my first time doing studio shots with ici paint kind of make up on my face. I could hardly open my eyes coz those lashes were heavily laden with mascara and they had to hold up the thick bushy fake ones attached to my lid. Overall it was a fun shoot, the crews were great.

I'm Not an Old Unwanted Tube | Design 049

Sketching on fabric can be quite challenging as you have to make sure you don't put too much pressure to prevent the marker tip from pulling the fabric. Pretty happy with how this one turned out.

I'm Not A Boring Old Tee | Design 048

I'm not wood scrap I'm a tree | Design 047

Wood scraps I picked up from a furniture factory. The tree sketch represents that particular tree where the wood came from for example on every oak wood pieces I would sketch an oak tree, if nyatoh wood I would sketch a nyatoh tree, teak a teak tree etc.

This project is to create awareness about trees and where wood comes from. A lot of people do not think twice about the materials of the products that they are using and where they originate from.

I'M NOT PAPER | I'm a living tree | Design 045

Antalis Paper just launched their new range of environmentally friendly papers at 1 Utama last friday 16 July. The event was called Paper Fantasy. Their event organiser Figtree invited me to take part in the tree sculpture exhibition using the new range of environmentally paper to sculpt a tree.

I was given the Sensation Tradition Natural White 170gsm and Curious Metalic Iridiscent Cryogen White 120gsm to play around.

Artist rationale: Paper came from trees and it only makes sense that it be returned to where it belong.
