Camberwell Conservation Team

Two of my works for the final show were damaged at the fire on 28th June. They were immediately brought to the conservation team of Camberwell College of Art. They are one of the best in the world. I was so lucky to studying in the same institute. Dolce and Mark, thank you very much for your time and great support on rescueing my works!!!

Followings are the photos taken during their treatment.

These are the photos of damage before the conservation. My scroll painting got a mad water stain and smork dust.
...and some fire man's kicks!

Following three are photos taken in the afternoon of 29th immediatery before being taken out from fire place to get repaired by conservation team. The shopping bags I placed on top of works before I left studio in previous day helped minimizing damages.

Installing Cuckoos

Title: Cuckoos 2010
230cm x 300cm
Metal leaves, Sumi ink, pigments and gelatin gue on Japanese paper

This mobile installation took me some while to finish but it was worth to try. During the installation, I found this painting has a wide viewing angle (right - left about 120 degree) and a bit similler to how kaleidoscope works. Please check following YouTube.

28th June, 2010 -Our Studio Got A Fire

Our MA Fine Art Studio at Wilson Road, Camberwell College of Art was on fire on 28th June. This movie was taken 3 days after the fire. Some students’ works got very serious damage. This is so sad. However, we are still planning to have show on schedule. We will do our utmost for the show and recover from this depression.
Fortunately, both of my works, Cuckoos and Doodles on A National Treasure Project were survived (It was almost miracle!) though they got some damage. I will write about how my works were rescued in a different article.
