Featherlight paper sculpture | handcrafted in Italy

For the searcher of atypical things and boring spaces devoid of fun. This collectible sculpture not only serves a decorative purpose but also has practical uses, e.g., brush/eyeglasses holder, paperweight and splashy icebreaker for your high tea party. Like Hello Kitty, she is mouthless but her whimsical perseverance speaks volumes.

A personal connection or supporting the artist, for whatever reason keep in mind, this is the only piece. It's hard to know when it will be taken. Better decide quick because it could be over before you finally click. Certainly, another can be commissioned but no two things can be made the same when using hands.

Curator's comments: Have you wander through museums without pausing to look at specific works of art? Poems have helped me focus on a particular creation and see the work from my perspective other than the artist’s intent. On that I weld together word art and visual art to share the connection I feel after viewing artwork #7.

“The Durian Lover”

Geylang, durian street

Cat Mountain and hybrids

Blossoming truffle unearthed  

Rattle, cleaver

Spiked armour in halves

Yellow pulps in arched cups

Luscious and nutritious, mouthwatering  

Durian, sweet corn atop my shaved ice

Durian, apple of my eye

There is no other fruit in sight I’d want

A durian a day, my tonic and joy.
