Research on the work done by Rosalie Gascoigne
This piece of art work was released in 2004, it's made of torn linoleum on plywood which size is is 40.5 in width, 42.5 in height and 2cm in thickness. Well, frankly, I really don't know what linoleum is, though I found its explanation on the Google: "Linoleum is a floor covering which is made of cloth covered with a hard shiny substance. " Anyway, from the picture, I can see it's kinda cloth. Shinny? I don't know ...
As its material indicates, I think it's made by tearing the linoleum into pieces and then piecing them up in the totally different order, which is not an unsystematic order, but a well considered one. Yep, I think it's just a beautiful puzzle as I've mentioned last week ... :p

Research on Fiona Hall's "paper wasp nest"
Well, strange, before researching, I thought its bottom part was just a strange looking base, however, surprisingly, it's a kinda nest of some strange bees -- paper wasp nest ...
This piece is made of polymer resin, I read this information from the internet. I think the reason she uses this material is: she wanted to imitate the liquid and smooth feeling of the brain and the rough and solid texture of the hive. So, after all, the polymer resin became the best choice -- it has a pretty good convertibility. With the nature of the polymer resin, all the rest work was to add some chemical component to make the resin colourful and put the mixture into the modules. I guess that was what she'd done.

An Adornment made of ivory
I took the picture of this ivory adornment in the Capital Museum in Beijing.At the time, there's a show of the traditional Chinese handcrafts, a lot of lacquers and potteries were on show.
I really like ivory adornment so I took many photos of them. This one is amazing, the ball on its top is actually like a "matryoshka" (I found this word on the net, it's a kind of Russian doll), it means there are many balls one in another. Amazing!
A picture I drew ......
I drew this picture days before because all my "creative" things are in China ...... Anyway, this one is definitely creative. Filled with so many kinds of patterns, it is also filled with my creativity ...... - -b
The Berlin Jewish Museum by D Liebeskind
This is the Jewish Museum in Berlin. The designer is the Polish architect Daniel Liebeskind.
The first sight of its external view will shock everyone visitor -- the broken surface and the compressed structure just reveal the horror of the genocide and the sadness of the massacre.
This building in Berlin will brings people back to the memory which some of us haven't experienced and makes us introspect of the history, then to build a better future.
