When I feel a strange or complicated emotion, I’ll hold onto that, then unravel it through drawing. My characters also have an aspect of self-portraiture to them, as I am often infusing aspects of my identity. I’ve been exploring paper-making more, which allows me to get to the root of both my art practice and my identity. I use this fiber called abacá, which is a natural leaf fiber grown in the Philippines. I like that I can connect with that aspect of my culture through my art.” Art by @gracesrealm」5月5日 1時00分
