Sensei an honorific term shared in Asian cultures that is translated as "person born before another" or "one who comes before".
This is where being an artist I can take the symbolism or meaning and translate in my own "words" or in this case piece of art.
It has been a stirring in my soul for some years to be able to create something that held the feeling of "before another"...in other words a piece of antiquity but of today.

I started these pieces by sculpting the heads in air- dry clay. I knew that I wanted them to be small and have a vintage antique feel to them!
My fabric for the body is vintage kimono silk. I loved this because of the soft creaminess of the white color and the design within the weave!

Her clothing came to me to be in the blue tones of the Sky.
Dress in vintage Vietnamese silk lined with red Chinese vintage silk.
Embroidery by machine and hand.
Pants vintage Kimono cotton.
Close up of silk jacket trim in Indian silk, hand-made tassel, and machine embroidery
