She presented a variety of items. The ones that were sold out were her light boxes. It is a nice and attractive work of paper relief cut outs placed in layers within antique wood boxes and lit up internally. Hence, commonly referred to by collectors as the light box works, which is opposed to those lightboxes hanging on the walk which are backlit images, very much like an x-ray box in the doctors office.
She also did some arrangement of 'forest' on old school tables, made up of plants, birds and what's nots. There were also shelves with figurines and an old photo to go. There were also some photos on display.
Interesting. She is doing nice and pleasant works. Pleasant as in visually pleasing. Not content, if you remember last years Prudential Eye. But that piece was aesthetically pleasing though disturbing. That would be an example of good but disturbing visual art.
Points of Collectors: Strong Buy. But the light boxes are the ones that in demand. Think because they are nice and easier to store/display unlike her other unwieldy tables and desks. All the light boxes have been sold out. Recently one of the light boxes which was sold at Art Stage 2014, recently changed hands at Auction either by Sotheby's or Christies in Hong Kong. Art Stage 2016 also had two of the boxes which I think sold either during the VIP preview or during the vernissage. Nothing else sold I think. But I really like the small shelf with the 3 elephants and the man climbing the tree.
