Anyway so this was all prompted by me wondering how many kg of rice you can grind in this rice grinder before it needs to be replaced.

Might not be the best wrapping technique due to the lack of practice but they held hand to mouth and that’s what counts.

Pork and shrimp garden rolls inspired by Angela Nguyen’s The Pho Cookbook with nước chấm and peanut dipping sauces. Light but filling, crunchy and aromatic with all the fresh mint and cilantro inside — not a bad dinner solution for a heatwave night.

Moon Harvest - monoprint painting on rice paper - 20x25cm

Original Monoprint in My Gallery:
The Moon Gives, If You Let It

Moon Harvest is about receptivity. Not chasing, not striving—just being open to what falls into your hands. A woman stands below a golden moon. Light doesn’t beam or blaze. It drips. Softly. Like honey. Like time slowing down.

This monoprint was made in a single flow—layered on a gelli plate, with no corrections, no rehearsals. Just trust and presence. The moon gave. I printed.

Lilac and deep purple hold the night. Gold catches the eye but never shouts.
Moon Harvest is tender, quiet, and just a little bit surreal.

“It’s not about doing. It’s about receiving. That might be the hardest thing.”

FOLLOW THE RIVER – A Monoprint Journey in Amber Light 20 x 25 cm
Flow, Belonging & the Call of the Landscape

There are moments when the world gently guides us—no map, no signs, only the instinct to follow what feels right. Follow the River captures such a moment: a landscape bathed in warm, glowing orange hues, where the current becomes a metaphor for trust, surrender, and belonging.

This one-of-a-kind monoprint evokes the quiet power of movement without force. Shapes dissolve into softness, ink bleeds like memory, and the winding river becomes a lifeline—a subtle thread pulling you toward something essential, something ancient.

“A visual meditation on flow and inner direction, Follow the River reminds us that nature’s guidance is always there—when we’re ready to listen.”

COMING HOME – A Mixed Media Collage in Blue & Gold on Rice Paper -
Belonging, Memory & the Sacred Journey Inward.
There is a quiet joy in returning—not just to a place, but to a feeling. Coming Home speaks to that deep sense of belonging, the gentle recognition of something once lost and now found. In soft blue tones and luminous golds, this collage weaves together memory, texture, and light.

Delicate rice paper creates a layered transparency, like time folding in on itself. Gold fragments shimmer like moments of grace; indigo depths ground the piece in stillness. It’s both map and memory—an inner landscape revealing itself slowly.

“A sacred echo of return—Coming Home is a tactile reflection on who we are when we feel whole again.” #collage #artforsale #art #ricepaper #collageart
In addition to my work in digital photography, I deeply enjoy the craftsmanship of painting and encaustics (working with wax). These techniques bring a completely different dynamic: there is no 'undo button' like in digital editing. This unpredictability makes the process both exciting and challenging for me.

The pieces I offer here combine monoprints and painting techniques on Japanese rice paper. Rice paper is very thin and requires a delicate approach, but it offers a beautiful texture that adds a unique dimension to the artwork.

Oooh, look what I found!

Rummaging around for a blank notebook for a new project, I came upon this blank 7x9" japanese rice paper accordion book!

I got it second-hand, somewhere. It'll be easy to add the missing back cover.

Yum!

なんちゃって北京ダックだよ。春餅なんて作ってられないからライスペーパーで生春巻き。鴨はエアフライヤーでロースト。キュウリとスプリングオニオンを細切りにして、ついでに残ってたコリアンダーの葉も、海鮮醬入れて巻いて超簡単さ。

My first attempt at #Vietnamese #summerRolls in ages. Filling was shredded #surimi, #rice #vermicelli, #romaine, Asian #cilantro, Asian #basil, #carrot, #cucumber, #onion, and #limeJuice, all wrapped in #ricePaper. Dips were #saté (#peanut, #coconutMilk, #chili), #sweetChili (both homemade) and #Kikkoman soy sauce.

Turned out pretty good, though I definitely need to roll them much more tightly next time.
