About Angela Ho
I am obsessed in drawing for many reasons, especially pencil on paper, they are down-to-earth, honest, modest but versatile, and it is also an everyday stationary that people use in daily basis. Perhaps it was the first drawing medium I and many other people have used, pencil reminds me of being a kid sometimes. It is almost like an escape from reality and allows me to enter a fantasyland, to indulge myself of being blessing ignorant. I draw to record my memories, experience and anything visual that is worth to remember but they are all autobiographical based, and I used this vision to communicate and breathe.
