Three by Three: Guest Artists in Focus
QUESTION 2. How does working in miniature change the way you see the full-sized world around you?
ANSWER 2. The process in creating miniatures inspires me to focus on details and embrace the changes in our life. It gives a different perspective to understand better on the objects and everything surrounding us. We need some imagination to create something from nothing, and process is a good learning everytime I work in my miniatures.

QUESTION 3. How do you give something so small a sense of presence or emotional weight?
ANSWER 3. I insist to handmade and color all my creations without mold or machine so every pieces could illustrate its true uniqueness. I use the tiny bits of equipments and the special material imported to ensure the quality and durability in such a scale. I hope people can truly see the details in my creation and connect with them.
QUESTION 1. What draws you to working small—control, intimacy, or the quiet magic of scale?
ANSWER 1. I strongly believe 1:12 is the best scale to minimize the flowers and plants without sacrify their details and precision. Each pieces are unique and can be colored slightly different so they looks to the real plants and flowers in a dollhouse. My hands and fingers are small so I could shape the scale and details in a different way than using any tools.
