Designing for Production-Big Picture Stuff

A. When do you remember first making art?

What were the experiences like?

What compelled you to return to art throughout your life?

When did you first consider yourself an artist?

-When I was in elementary school, I used to love making things with recycled materials. When I was in elementary school, there was an assignment during summer vacation which was to make things out of recycled materials.

I just love making things with my hands. I don't like writing essays or studying for exams but I love making objects/jewelry. Making is the thing which I could put all of my effort in.

B. Wirte about an experience with a specific work of art that has affected you, in a positive or negative way. It may not have created a noticeable visual impact on your work, but the memory of it haunts you.

-Kids' toys have affected me in a positive way. I think kids' toys are the most fun and happy thing. I hope my works could give people a sense of happiness and fun.

C. Who have been your artistic influences? What, in particular, about their work has been influential? Or, in what ways have they influenced you? Mention other influences as well, such a literary, musical, social, or political ones.

-Arthur Hash and Elizabeth Garvin. Their designs are fun and catches viewer's eyes.

D. How does your work relate to art that has been produced in the past? How does it relate to art that you are seeing in your community, exhibitions, or in art publications? What is similar? What do you consider to be unique to you?

-I believe there are lots of fun and happy wearable jewelry designs out there just like what I'm trying to express through my pieces. I think using a unique material like crayon is something new in jewelry field.
