  1. I was attracted by Doris Wong because she seems to be the youngest among the artists who will be interviewed by us.
    I'm quite interested in her self-definition because she think her art works are like sculptures. In my view, sculpture could stay for quite a long time, but it seems that her works are "fragile" compared with sculpture, what's her meaning of saying that, and if she thought there are similarities between her works and sculpture, why don't she use sculpture to transform her ideas? Dose she feel her art works like kind of component of sculptures?
    I think your interview sheet is very good, and Q7,Q8 and Q11 are very funny, but I didn't find your research series, and I want to know more about the Everything Gose Wrong for the Poor Couple.
    Keep on good work and good luck!
