This edition of G HUNTING SUNDAY presents the fantastic origami world by artists Katrin & Yuri Shumakov. Hailed as superstars of the paper folding world, they are internationally recognized professional origami artists developing the art form in a heretofore unseen way. Now residents of Toronto, Canada and authors of many books and CDs, they share their art with us.

Stereo Jasmine Oribana -  a term the artists invented, are elegantly designed floral arrangements that have been exhibited in different countries. They created Oriland - the boundless fantastic Origami World made from paper, from amazing goblins and wizards, castles of magical wonder, dragons, princesses, trees and flowers, to sailing ships and sea creatures, dinosaur skeletons and more... The work is simply mind blowing! Don't miss this chance to meet the artists and see some demonstrations.

Holly Lee (GOOD edition in edition of 30, $30 each). A promotional item for the current exhibition at INDEXG - Hong Kong: Tales of a city (Part I). Holly Lee's work is drawn from her series of transfer images titled Memories of Hong Kong (1994) . Using old postcards, family pictures and sometimes footages from her assignments, she collaged and juxtaposed these images, blending collective memories with personal histories, questioning identities and future government policy.


Stefan White
(GOOD edition in edition of 30, $30 each). Stefan White is a Toronto artist. His work on drawings is like a graphic novel, starting from abstraction, and growing into narratives as the work proceeds. Since the work is both abstract and narrative, "my drawings have become a system that serves only to make itself more complex." said White in his artist statement. Selected for the GOOD Edition are drawings from his sketch notebooks. Stefan White is currently writing a novel, his other love, with substantial casts.


Jeff Jackson (GOOD edition in edition of 30, $30 each). From Jeff Jackson's Italian Architecture series. The artist remarked, "I found the Italian Architecture so unusual, that at first it was difficult to record what was before me. The only way I was able to sketch was if I looked at my subject matter and drew without looking at my page. I would feel my way through my drawings. What I discovered when I analyzed my sketches was that I had developed a kind of short-hand notation of buildings and details. I later deciphered sketches to create final paintings."

GOOD gift ideas.
