Hi new followers-I'm a visual artist based in Paris (mostly) working in Asia several months/year.
Currently researching Iberian & Ming dynasty tile painting for a 25sqm paper installation of blue jeans and white cotton t-shirts, in the form of azulejo tiles which will be exhibited in Macau, Nov '25.

I lived in these neighborhoods aged 20-23, within a few hundred meters of each site. Cannot begin to explain how this institutional violence becomes tangled into memory when it happens on your street, where you greet your neighbors, in the places where you love and fail and build and live your life
I want the media to understand just how close what happened today is to where George Floyd was murdered. 0.8 miles.

Newest addition to the bucket list:
Artists Janet Cardiff and Georges Bures Miller have left the limelight of the big cities and set up an amazing exhibition of their interactive multi-media works deep in the middle of British Columbia. Definitely worth the journey!

My father, rooting about his shelves, found a book he’d inherited from his father. Opened it for the first time. Inside an inscription.
My grandfather, Robert C Miller, was a US airforce metrologist. He developed the first tornado forecast. The inscription is during the development of that forecast

I remember going with my parents (a surgeon and an anesthesiologist) to a museum in France filled with medieval era medical instruments, and when we got to the section on gynecological instruments they were shocked to see that what was used in the 1400s was basically what is used now. Thread.
So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

"A rather difficult one to print. I could not leave the printer to his own sweet will. I suppose that is why I had so few printed...
There will never be a Flower Street like that again in Hong Kong"
