We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us again. Could you please give us a brief overview of the new art project titled "Environmental Series"?
Making art for the environment is nothing new for me. Every year, I paint one or two works for Earth Day as I believe in honouring Mother Earth. The earth is our home planet. It is the only one we got. But this year, I was invited to participate in a four-member group exhibition in South Korea. And decided to create a specific new series of 12 paintings dedicated to the care and protection of our environment. Because the audience was going to be Koreans, I included Korean texts in Korean scripts in some of the works.

Sinuous, intertwined wildlife bridge worlds of the living and the dead in Lauren Marx’s intricate multi-media work. Twisting fox heads, disemboweled deer, and lambs bursting with flowers and birds are rendered with watercolor, ink, pen, and colored pencil. Marx often places her animal compositions on semi-abstract backgrounds, awash with grey tones that give a sense of weightlessness to the dense drawings by evoking fog or clouds.

What is a barrier you as an artist overcame? Is there anything that enabled you to develop your work as an artist in your life?
As an artist, I don't have much trouble expressing myself. Because I've absorbed a lot of things, and I've always expressed them as art, and my expression has always evolved. The problem with my activities as an artist is how to get people to see my work. I'm not rich, so I needed some ingenuity to spread my work. We've solved them by using the Internet effectively, but it's not perfect yet. We will have to continue to deal with those problems.

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?

Ming Ying (b.1995) is from Beijing and currently lives and works in London. Now she is having MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art (2018-2020). Her works are almost exclusively in oil paint.
Her recent works mainly reflects a kind of collision between reality and unreality that can happen in the everyday world, such as when listening to music or seeing something familiar that creates a mental image. Such collisions intersect with daily experience. She is interested in the sense of such collision which is produced in a delicate relationship of contradiction and harmony in painting.
What are your ultimate career goals?
My main career goal is constant work, this is a creative process, this is the creation of new works of art, this is the creation of new artistic images. When I create new works of art, I live, for me it is a sign of life.
