Ten Thousand Teardrops

    My Paper Creation at the Exhibition, Paper Alchemy

    Paper pulp teardrop

    10 Thousand Teardrops is an exploration of love, loss, and the fragile connections that bind us. Using pineapple fibre pulp, cotton thread, and paper, I created a delicate installation of twelve rings suspended from intertwined twigs—each surface worn and perforated, giving a sense of weakness and sadness.

    Inspired by the Greek myth of Ariadne, who gave Theseus a ball of red thread to navigate the labyrinth only to be abandoned by him, this piece reflects the moment she watches his ship disappear. The red thread, a symbol of destiny in Japanese folklore, resonates deeply with me. It represents both connection and separation, hope and despair.

    Through intricate details and fragile materials, I invite viewers to see the beauty within imperfection, the strength in delicate things, and the threads—both seen and unseen—that weave our stories together.

      Happy Travel – Japan tour

      My First Japan Tour as a Tour Leader!

      I was a Tour Leader for the Japan tour for the Art Gallery of NSW and we travelled in Japan for 11 days in December 2024!

      We were very lucky with the weather. Warm and no rain. Walking in Tokyo and visiting many galleries were enjoyable in warm weather; we also got to see the beautiful Mt. Fuji. It was warm most of the time, but we had snow for a short time and some of us watched the snow falling from the onsen bath – hot springs in Hakone.

      I was very fortunate to have a group of fantastic people and wonderful local tour guide, Mayumi.
      11days in Tokyo-Hakone-Kurashiki and we visited many galleries and we enjoyed the Tokyo architecture walking tour.
