Paper Collages

Let Them Hide-And-Seek:

Artist Statement:

This collage is made up of torn magazines - pink flowers coloured with ladies' makeup products.

The mature makeup sharply contradicts with the innocent look and carefree attitude of every young girl.

Wearing makeup is troublesome but is often expected by the society.

Makeup is definitely compulsory during the wedding day - a gateway towards the mark of maturity and

responsibilities. So let's just let our girls enjoy their precious childhood and play time now! ^ - ^

Cellophane Collage:

Using translucent cellophane colours in three contrasting values to recreate a penguin on a wrapper.

The coloured plastics overlap in a playful way!

Family Carnival Poster:

This large poster standee and small sketches were constructed with my Secondary 1 (Year 7) Care Class

as a publicity for our coconut drink and popcorn dessert pop-up store.

Bookmarks (Nature / Ice-Creams):

Combining coloured papers to make a layered collage. Inspired by a technique known as

"painting with scissors" by French artist - Henri Matisse.

Henri Matisse's techique of "painting with scissors":
