Untitled (Hunger 20), Tim Lowly © 1996, tempera on ceramic bowl, 7" x 7" x 4". Private collection.
This painting is from a series of 21 paintings on the bottom surface of traditional Korean bowls - done for an exhibition I had in Seoul, Korea in 1997. Recently, as I was writing some thoughts on my work to a colleague, it occurred that I had not explained publicly my thinking about and reason for making this work. This seems pretty important given the problematic territory that this work wanders into. What follows is an excerpt from my correspondence:
Around 1995 the “special needs” school that our daughter Temma had been attending for 6 years – Lakeview Learning Center – was preparing to close. I was working at the school on a large painting (titled Big Picture) of the classroom for “severely and profoundly disabled” children that Temma was part of. While working on this large painting I was given a collection of miscellaneous photographs documenting the students in their daily life at the school. Also around this time I was offered an exhibition with a gallery in South Korea, the country where I grew up (my parents were medical missionaries). I decided to make work for this show based on the photographs that I had been given of students from Lakeview Learning Center as a way of making present a population that was largely invisible / marginalized in Korea at that time. My goal in making these paintings was to select photographs that (for me) most powerfully expressed the humanity of these children. In making the paintings my intent was to try to represent them as best as I could in accordance to how I perceived them via the photographs: that is, as completely and compellingly human. Despite my ambivalence about using other people’s photographs as sources for paintings, these photographs – apparently taken by the staff of the school - offered a kind of “objective” perspective on the children somewhat fitting for my relative distance from them personally. That said, to the extent that these children were part of a community of which my daughter was a part I felt it was appropriate to make paintings based representing them.
This latter point is important in relation to the fundamental intent of this project. While I was attempting to portray the children in all their individuality evident in the photographic sources, I was doing so with the primary goal of presenting them as a community: a community as evidently diverse and complex (in various respects) as any other.
There is a well-known (in Korea) poem by the Korean Catholic “Minjung” writer Kim Chi Ha that has an essentially Eucharistic refrain: “God is rice”. In allusion to that poem I decided to do a series of 21 paintings on Korean rice bowls (a very commonly used kind of bowl). More specifically, as an allusion to the marginalization of this population I made the paintings on the bottom / underside (typically unseen) surface of the bowls. In using the rice bowl I not only wanted to draw a connection to Kim Chi Ha’s poem, but further to the movement of Minjung Art that had grown in vitality at the ending period of Korea’s long dictatorship (the early ‘80s). The Minjung Art movement (which, especially in the person of the artist Im Ok Sang, had been very influential for me) made the empowerment of the poor and the marginalized their priority. My hope was to situate the subject of the work I was making – at that time still a largely marginalized community - in the context of the Minjung political imperative.
In this work I was attempting to represent these children as faithfully as I could. It might be helpful to unpack my thinking “representation” a bit: Painting, particularly realistic / representational painting is frequently thought of / received in relation to the convention of “mastery”. That is, when one makes a realistic painting it might be understood as an artists’ claim of mastery and, implicitly, as their claim to an authority over the subject represented. I do not have any interest in that way of approaching painting. I am interested in painting that is a kind of conversation with the material used to make it (as opposed to painting as about control or domination of the material). No less importantly, I’m interested in painting as a regarding of the subject in humility: an attempt to represent the subject as honestly, accurately and respectfully as possible. Put another way: painting for me is learning how to make this painting in relation to trying to understand and represent this subject.
Taking that word representation a bit further: it is of course a reasonable question to ask whether one has the right to represent (make or take a picture of) another person – particularly someone who is not able to give consent. And it is reasonable to question whether I – even as the parent of a member of that community and trusted by the staff of that community – have the right to represent the students. But no less important is the other side of this question: the right of each person to be represented (both literally, in the sense of being pictured, and - via metaphoric implication - politically). In the case of this particular population and the particular context in which these paintings were being shown my intention was to make and show these representational paintings of these children as a claim to their right (authority) to be represented: Particularly towards the goal of advocating the presence of members of this population as they existed in that country at that time.

"Everything's still and quiet. Then, almost eerily, the mockingjays take up my song.
For a moment, I sit there, watching my tears drip down on her face. Rue's cannon fires. I lean forward and press my lips against her temple. Slowly, as if not to wake her, I lay her head back on the ground and release her hand."
A 1,5 months old baby awakes in its tiny home in Chamane-Babrack slums in Kabul. The baby suffers from malnutrition and cold and despite most intense attempts, its father, a cart pusher, can not find any work these days since economic crisis began.

I made this cake for my boyfriend's son who when I asked what he wanted simply said... "a Mockingjay Pin!".
I had no idea what this was having not read the books or seen the film so had to do some research :)
The Mockingjay Pin is hand modelled out of fondant except the arrow which is a cocktail stick.
The cake board is covered using printed pages from the book.

Though it was not a subject for photography (I do believe that). Even I didn't use my DSLR to shoot those frames, since DSLR is bigger and more revealing. I used my point & shoot to frame those shots, bit secretly.
Eyes were too different from others.

Shadows fall, through the darkness we reach as the hunger calls.
Then you run to the passion that takes you over.
No lookin' back. The chance will never come again. You risk it all for your dream, won't let you go.
When you feel the hunger drivin' you on to your one desire.
Alone through an endless night, and the needs never satisfied.
Through these eyes seen a river of tears seen the strong survive.
Separate lives and the emptiness makes you wonder.
Blame it on love .You had it all and it's not enough. You'll never change a slave to the fire.
It never ends
Still you've the hunger drivin' you on to your one desire.
Never deny your heart. The need to be satisfied.
Still you feel the hunger, the primitive rite of a restless breed.
Surrendering all your life to the true nature of the beast.
No looking back. The chance will never come again.
You give it all to your dream. It never ends.
Still you've the hunger drivin' you on to your one desire.
Never deny your heart. The need to be satisfied.
Still you feel the hunger drivin' you on, so you feel the fire.
Alone through an endless night, and the needs never satisfied.

Her outfit is sewn on her in such a way that it is not really removable. Her quiver is packaged attached to her. She has elbow and knee pads on her outfit, too.
Katniss Everdeen is finally safe and sound in my home. I got her at TRU and so happy that I won't have to pay shipping. There were 5 dolls available and I believe I'd pick the one with the best facial screening !!!;-D!!!
You guys are either probably intrigued or sick-to-the-limit. :P I sorries, okay? I love the Hunger Games so much. >U< I can't help it.
I've been testing out photography and see how editing magikally improves the picture.( Sometimes. )
And so yeah, it's pretty grainy but i'm okay with it. :3 I think it looks like a painting actually. I like it.~

So this may be disturbing. to some people. U_U ...
Most of my photostream.. is going to be about or related to-- The Hunger Games.
I will still take pictures of other things, like Margret or nature! Or Pianos, violins, violas, etc.
I will be still focusing on some things people are interested into.
But I'm planning to make some MVs about the Hunger Games character relationships.
I'm actually planning( this is ridiculous XD) to make a HG set, and take pictures of what's up and moments from the book( Yes, book. The movie has little events.)
I'm sorry. :(
Also,
feel free to FM me for Hunger Game photo requests, i'll be glad to take some pictures for u!
Gurkha Veterans want equal pension payments with the British born soldiers. At present, Gurkhas get ONE QUARTER of what the rest of the Army get! Can you believe it?
As of August 19, the Government is talking....but still no advance beyond that! And the Gurkhas have ended their Hunger Strike, as the Government agrees to change the pensions but by how much? It is scandalous!

Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever, you will surely drown

Every time a new year comes around people make resolutions. The need for a significant reason for new beginnings; Loose weight, diet, get in shape, be nicer, etc. I agree, these are all good things to aim for in your life; ways to better yourself and evolve. Yet I feel like they are lacking for me again this year, as they always have in the past. I need more, each year passes and I always fail to choose one and I think it's because I simply never found the right resolution for myself. After reading these books, I finally have ...
My resolution is to stand for something, to stand for myself. To shift my own inner powers and take control in ways I never dared to before.
So here's a picture of a Mockingjay; the symbol of hope, revolution, and a better future. Because these are the only things I wish for myself and those I love. To spread hope, start a self-revolution and create a better world for myself.
So here's to new beginnings, have a safe and happy New Year everyone. Thank you to everyone and anyone who supported me in any way.
