Fotanian Open Studios 2010
The dark streets, the industrial buildings, and the smell of machinery gave me a bit of a Déjà Vu this afternoon when I was aimlessly visiting the different open studios of Fotanian. I remember when I was young, my parents would occasionally bring me to their industrial flats because there was no one to look […]

Malcolm Wells
I like reading about the life and work of artists, especially those with a sense of humor. Malcolm Wells (a.k.a Mac Wells) is one of those rare few I truly admire. I love his style of writing – personal, honest, truthful, with plenty of humor/sarcasm and to-the-point cartoons/illustrations. It was only by luck that I […]

bodw & BYOB
I was carrying with me a fair bit of expectation entering the bodw show, but I left during the break right after the first presentation by Hermés.

CD Lava Lamp
While I was packing, I found an old lava lamp, some robotics stuff for my undergrad design project, and a bunch of useless CDs. I spent my Friday afternoon transforming all that into somewhat of a sculpture. There are 2 more projects I wish to complete before I leave Toronto – One is to transform […]

Origami
I’m guilty of chopping down trees for mindlessly printing paper for reading. It’s just too tiring to read long papers on the screen! To ease my guilt, I usually save up the printed pages and use the backside as scrap paper for doodling or draft work. In order to use up the piles of unused […]
