It’s a tad cheeky, but what better way to mark the resurrection
of Christina’s Anatomy than a blog post on my latest exhibition!
East meets West- Design Now! runs from the 24th
April to 3rd May, at Mokspace Gallery, opposite the British Museum (one of
my favourite inspirational hangouts ) The new London gallery is uniquely dedicated
to promoting emerging artists from the Asia Pacific- Korea, Taiwan, China,
Japan, Hong Kong and Macau. This is Mokspace’s first collaboration with ArtsThread,
the leading global art and design talent network.

My Seeds of Sanity ceramics (see links below) will be featured
alongside 19 talented Asia Pacific artists, all recent graduates. Expect a dynamic
range of 2D and 3D works, from drawing and painting to ceramics, jewellery, furniture,
and installation. The aesthetics and philosophy of nature, in its broadest
sense is the coincidental theme that draws the work together in this modest but
freshly modern space.
From abstract animal shapes, sleek, minimalist contours, dreamy
animal-human hybrids to peeling, and disintegrating surfaces of nature - this
is a visual feast worth brazing the tube strikes for. Without giving too much away,
the ones to look out for (and feel jealous for not thinking of it myself) are the
bubble gum coloured, encrusted Tropical Sea Adventure rings by Wenhui Li, the seductively
shiny snow-cap glazed melting pots by Koji Shiraya and a clever interactive jewellery
installation by Yenz Lin- phew!
If you want to see why the Asia Pacific is a growing hotbed
for innovative design talent, or simply to experience something new in London’s
overcrowded gallery scene, this is for you.
