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!
