The TasmAsian - the film
Highly Commended
Cynthia has demonstrated a passion for art since she was a small child. Her career has seen her apply her creative skills across a number of professions – make up artist, hair stylist, photographer, digital art designer and arts tutor. She has made many pieces of wearable art, mostly using materials other than fabric. In 2018, as a first-time entrant to paper on skin, Cynthia won the Cocoon Designs Public Vote Award of $500 with her striking piece Empress at Forbidden City.
The TasmAsian is a celebration of the twelve years Cynthia has resided in Tasmania. It showcases the beauty of the local landscape whilst incorporating the symbols and motifs of her Malaysian heritage. Of special note are the shoes. Inspired by the visual image of a foot stepping into a ream of REFLEX copying paper, Cynthia designed and hand-moulded a pair of highly original shoes from literally thousands of pieces of butchers’ paper. They feature a hand cut diorama of a Tasmanian tiger in the wild.
