I got caught in Yayoi Kusama's art work - One Thousand Eyes (silk screen on canvas) at her exhibition in Shanghai.
Standing in front of the empty faces, I felt surprisingly content among this unfamiliar crowd - no need to do anything, not trying to get anywhere. My once in a blue moon solitude was surrounded by a thousand unseen eyes and yet, not even slightly stirred.
Today I found a couple of kids' photos that I used to make their silhouette 2 years ago. (They were 2 and 5 at that time!) Then I came up with this artist inspired craft idea for Big E and Little E to try.
I printed the photos out and made the silhouette pattern.
The kids trace the silhouette cut-out on 2 pieces of origami paper of their choice.
Big E did a good job tracing and cutting. Little E needed a bit more help cutting the silhouette out.
They used the silhouette cut-outs to make a pattern and glued them on another piece of yellow paper.
Here are their finished artwork.
I love the vibrant color and the pattern of their choices!
Little E said " Wow, there are a lot of me on the paper!"
Therefore, I named this project - The Me I see!
