About

Endlessly curious. My work primarily involves the use of embroidery. I am interested in collapsing the boundaries between traditional and popular cultures and exploring the links that exist between these two. My work examines how this particular mishmash manifests itself in modern times, especially concerning modern youths. Preferring to work with craft-based techniques, I am attracted to the evidence of the hand and its time-consuming aspect, which runs counter to the instant gratification and mass-production centred age of today. My works have been exhibited in Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan.

I think this is quite brilliant. Has anyone ever tried to animate Persian miniature paintings, or at least in the style of that? I think it’ll be quite fun. Sadly I do not know how execute a miniature painting or animate. 

ventriloquote:

When the lion bares his teeth, do not / fancy that the lion shows to you a smile. / I have slain the man that sought my heart’s blood many a time. / Riding a noble mare whose back none else may climb, / Whose hind and fore-legs seem in galloping as one / Nor hand nor foot requireth she to urge her on. / And O the days when I have swung my fine-edged glaive / Amidst a sea of death where wave was dashed on wave! / The desert knows me well, the night, the mounted men, / The battle and the sword, the paper and the pen.

أبو طيب المتنبي / Abu-Tayyib Al Mutanabbi (915 - 965)
