When the Shadows Get Long, 2020 Mixed media
A crocheted blanket of a red and blue radially symmetric, gradient pattern, hangs from the wall. To the right, hangs a photograph of a drip of chili oil on a dining table in a thrifted picture frame.
Nestled in the corner between, a wicker side table with a fresh coat of teal paint rests upon a detached corner of the blanket on the floor. The two front table feet sit atop crocheted coasters.
On top of a green placemat “rug” sits a miniature glazed ceramic living room set: a couch with a flax-seed-filled fabric cushion, floor lamp, side table and lucky bamboo plant.
A brass locket with a photograph of 公公 and a hand carved maple wood hair clip sit on the couch together.

Atop a colorful, woven mat rests a two tiered metal stand and a metal lamp stand with a hanging wooden lantern. Draped over the lantern are two strings of beads.
The rack is illuminated by the light from the lantern. The top tier at waist height holds a carved wooden dish, a jade necklace and stones arranged from largest to smallest.
The second tier at ankle height holds a basket with a small ceramic vessel, a pin cushion, and a red box. Next to the basket is a brass picture stand holding an open sketchbook.
