Project-"my life in a box"

Goals: to interact with our group and sharing our lives, ourselves, influences and interests.

Material: a plastic rectangular box

developing ideas 

I drew this by scratching on colored cel.
(a fun method I experienced from experimental animation)

another piece I did on color cel

I tried to make textures by coffee stains

another experimentation

From the research, I found i interesting in John Cornell's birds series created with various medias.

So it inspired me to create an add-on frame using branches to vitalize the box with rhythm-like feeling of flowing curves penetrated through the sides of the box. It then represents my connections with people around me and the interactions with me. 

research study: John Cornell

my final piece 

I used collected materials such as branches and paper coffee cups.

And it actually smells like coffee!

The cel and the film represents my background as an animator. 

And undoubtedly coffee and tea make my day through out the year.

The rugged notes with coffee stains shows the joyful moments of making art and keeping records of my life.

What's more, I would like to enjoy those leisure hours sipping a cup of coffee over a white pure table because sometimes inspirations come up spontaneously.
