Interview with Gloria Keh
DID YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU WANTED TO CREATE RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING?
Yes, the concept may be clear in my mind, and ideas may be there but I believe in the process of the becoming of the work. If I get out of the way, and stay quiet enough to tune in to my inner being, I then see the work unfolding with different eyes. There is great wisdom within us, so why not work together with this innate wisdom, than against it?

Interview with Lida Arzaghi
How do you go about beginning a new piece? Do you have an idea already in mind, or do you start working with materials or sketches to find the departure point?
The process begins with immersion in a specific topic, research information and attempt of studying it from various sides. After pondering for a while and determining material, form, colour and texture, I begin to create. However, I still am open to some changes in this stage as I believe in evolving during the making process.

Interview with Chan Suk On
How do you go about beginning a new piece? Do you have an idea already in mind, or do you start working with materials or sketches to find the departure point?
Improvisation is a mode of creation, without any sketches, making artworks based on feelings. Choosing background paper and test the lighting to take a shot. After finishing the work, I will look for different people, such as relatives, classmates and friends to see their reactions and opinions. The process of sharing works is very interesting, they have different backgrounds and professions. Sometimes I will accept the opinions of others and modify the work. Originality is very important.
Interview with Nandan He
How would you describe yourself and your artwork?
I would describe myself as a combination of conflict, but I enjoy the vibe of it, it makes me think about the relationship between me and the world all the time. I guess I will describe my artwork as a vague flowing cognition of illusion. Art to me is a life time project, I’m not in a rush, and yet to have a conclusion.
Interview with Anson Liaw
How would you describe yourself and your artwork?
I consider myself to be a physically and spiritually active and curious person. Everything in the world around us is interesting to me; from myself studying, questioning and discovering interesting things about how people behave in society in general to my daily enjoyment, exploration, and discovery about how observing and investigating nature and all natural and man-made objects and how they can be combined to work for me to create communication art that stimulates the understanding of something familiar into something that becomes new in the process of manufacturing new meaning. I am constantly fascinated about how I can naturally spark my mind to have creative ideas at any given moment to help fuel my conceptual illustration art-making just by observing making art from anything that crosses my path as I journey through life in the world around us.
Interview with Pato Reichler
Did you have an idea of what you wanted to create right from the beginning?
I always knew what I wanted to create. I was always passionate about classic stories, but I wanted to give them a twist. I try to show the psychological part that all these stories have and demonstrate that, no matter how old the stories are they are still very current. In my opinion, that is why people are attracted to my work because one way or another they identified themselves with it.
