An Exhibition in Three Parts

The first part of the work was created from portraits of people the artist had met during previous travels.

The second part of the work is from the first stop of the artist's stay in the North Island of New Zealand. It originates from the artist's in-depth visit to a teacher when she was a young artist, leading to an understanding of a new way of life and spiritual connotation. The teacher's husband, Ian, and his brother, Charles, were experts in chemical engineering and power engineering before they moved from prosperous Sydney and London to the far North Gulf region of New Zealand after retirement to live a "herdsman" life. Morning dew and tide, herding and sea fishing, infinite romance accompanied by daily work. The artist paid attention to the teacher's husband Ian's dedication and love for the changes of the map over time and the Maori culture. His older brother Charles, who lives in Auckland, built a nursery in his younger brother Ian's pasture dedicated to growing New Zealand native plants, phoned him almost every day to ask about the growth of the plants, and regularly came to take care of them himself. Then a large number of native plant seedlings were continuously given away to others, in order to replace foreign plants with native plants in New Zealand as much as possible. According to the teacher, during his work in London, Charles also cultivated British apple seedlings on the balcony of his apartment to give to friends around. The story sparked great interest among artists who also loved plants. "In the Far North" series of works are basically created on some tourist maps of the Far North that the artist inadvertently collected on the way, in order to express his respect for the rational, persistent and hard-working two brothers.

The third part describes the experience of the artist who came to Melbourne, Australia after her trip to New Zealand and lived, collected style and created in the manor house on Mt Dandenong provided by the organizer.
