The artist got inspiration from a dream: one day she became a fish, swimming in layers of paper-cut ocean with friends. Then she started to make this dream into reality. Starting by drawing hundreds of two-dimensional abstract Chinese paper cut patterns which contain different blessings and sketching out plentiful postures of fishes. Then the artist drew and re-mixed those elements with creative software by expressing them into a three-dimensional, realistic effect just like oil painting rich in lights and shadows. It’s an attempt of crashing eastern art expression with western.
I'm a fashion designer and pattern designer.When I was a kid, I aways like to read different kind of interesting and unrealistic fairy stories in daytime and then had a strange and fantastic dream at night. And I could be able to remember most of them after waking up. Then I'll spend lots of time to draw them out. Now, I just translate those dreams into fashion and pattern.I'm YIYI, I'm a dream teller.
