LINE: The materials I used to make this composition of lines were chinese ink,
LINE: The materials I used to make this composition of lines were chinese ink,
tissue paper and a satay stick.

cut outs of different types of paper- marble paper, handmade paper and glittery paper.
SPACE: The materials I used to make this composition of space were a black drawing
pen, scissors, glue stick and cartridge paper.
