"Gone with the Wind"

"Gone with the Wind" represents the face of an Asian woman who immigrated to the United States as an adult. One half of her face -- as her hair blows towards the back -- reflects her native country's roots she cannot forget while the other half conveys her integration in the new country's culture. In the middle of her blouse, love flowers for both countries.

On this piece, you will notice that mosaic covers the different angles of the sculpture with special glass cuttings. The still images on this website cannot convey the shape and movement of her hair as seen in reality.

Materials:

Sculpture: styrofoam, wire mesh, mortar, a metal pipe, nails.

Mosaic layers: China ceramic, Monet glass, glass, seashells.

Dimensions: 20(L)x 9(W)x 15(H)
