In the series Awakening Within: The Joy is in the Discovery, Catherine Lucky Chang embraces living life with awareness, curiosity, and vitality. Each mixed media work is created on handmade abaca paper, which Chang often naturally dyes with food scraps like avocado pits and onion skins. Combining techniques of printmaking, drawing, painting, and collage, she incorporates marks and shapes onto each paper ground with a spontaneous and playful approach.
