Till we have faces

In an effort to prove my complete and utter failure to produce arts lately, I inspired to put on some arts work from HBO's Original series: "Six feet under", taken by their series designer and artist.
In case you don't know what "Six feet under" is about (you must have lived in a cage for the last 10 years), it's about a family who owns a funeral business. The family is distorted and dysfunctional. Each and everyone is damaged and destroyed psychologically and emotionally. Every episode they have to provide their service to a dead person. And through facing death everyday of their lives they come together to live and celebrate lives. It's dark and twisted and full of black humor, but it's full of Artistic and cynical realistic views.
Here are the artworks from Clair Fisher, the youngest daughter of the family, who is a photographer. It was made by a bunch of close ups of the face, tore it off and then paper mache' back into the face. The actors then wear the masks and get their photo taken. It provides a multi-dimensional and truthful assessments of humans. Even with our own skin everyday we are hidden behind our mask, the mask of what people see us and think that we are. We are always hidden behind our own fear, anger and emotions.

David Fisher- The middle son, funeral director, gay, Christian, internalized homophobia and emotionally damaged

Nathaniel Fisher - Oldest son, liberal, sentimental, irresponsible and childish
Ruth Fisher - Mom, control freak, conservative
Claire Fisher - Youngest daughter, smoke crack and have self-destruction tendency, dark and depressed outlook of life.

FLOAT

My group of friends
Wedding bouquet (I made this one)
Our whole FLOAT
The medal lady
The shoe (I sticked the inside with Ming En, bit by bit one. See how tiny they are?)
The stair case with cardboard and computer chips
The roof railing by yogurt bottle and card board
The flood lights by noodle bowls and CDs
The clock (I only sticked the number and the white lining, the rest Miao Poh and OKS did)
The best roomies ever :) (Can you see the HOT and COOL on my arms? Guess the joke about icy and sunny colors of Hot and Cool?)
I painted their face with this year logos

Remembering Chestnutties :)

HAPPY 20th Month Anniversary (coming Monday 6th Aug). I cant believe it's already been a year. Many have happened. Things have changed. But I cant help but laugh looking at our silly photographs. So here you are, the funny pics we took on our Hershey Chocolate Factory trip. We were one hell of a family, weren't we?

On top of the world (Deliang took this one)

Food
One thing about us is that our house has never been lack of food. I sometimes cook huge Vietnamese dinner. We also have Adrian's cake weekly. I love those days...


And the Aftermaths
And what do we do when we were too full and no one wanted to finish the food? We draw card and see who has the smallest, just to decide who will eat and laugh ourselves silly.







I miss those days, guys :)

Fly, dreams, fly

My brother is into airplane, so he saved all his money to buy airplane models and assemble them and afterwards paint them with my oil painting colors. He made a mess in the room but these are the end results. The best thing about kids is they always dream. Take a look :)
