The opposite side of Daniel's works, there were Pictures drawn by a Korean Artist called Joon-Hee Park. I was not sure if it was intentionally arranged but her drawings were not hanging on the wall but on the ground. She had been living in NZ for 15 years. She was 29 years old.
When I was looking at this Lavender pond the gentleman a the reception came to and kindly explaind to me that the toys, which were alive in Parks paintings, stacked up on top of the girl's head , which is probably Park's self portrait, resembled thw weight of her child hood. Her childhood was probably happy with all her toys in the paitings but childhood is not only full of happiness. For an exambple her father's early death might have been a scar in her childhood.
