<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Hello Again!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">So over the Summer I was invited to participate in the 2015 IAP Video Anthology exhibition hosted by Incheon Art Platform here in Korea. It's always a joy to be involved in IAP's projects seeing as they were the reason I first ever came to Korea back in 2013 and hence my love affair with this magical country began!!</span></b><br />

The work that I showcased was my collaboration with animator Will Adams who I worked with during production of my 'Tales from Blue Truck Island' project over on Baengnyeong-do Island. This was a project I loved working on as it was a pleasure to work with the super talented Will Adams as well as work on documenting my time and experiences on the island. Our video 'The Whistlestop Diaries' was presented as part of the Video Anthology onsite at IAP in the theater.</span></b><br />

Their projects are based around connecting British and Korean artists and designers and having previously attended their seminars and workshops I was really honored that that invited me to participate and speak about my artwork!</span></b><br />

It's a place I dreamed of going to forever but, never really thought it would happen...it always seemed too far flung and obscure to actually sit down and plan an adventure to. So when I had some time off over Summer and got plotting, my dream trip came into fruition. Ulaanbaatar is not too far from Korea and after some meticulous planning I found myself aboard that yellow and blue Mongolian Air plane and whizzing off to Chinggis Khan airport!!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>One of the main reasons that I wanted to go was to invest some time in getting involved with some craft workshops. Always one to learn some new methods and get to grips with techniques otherwise not dabbled with, I went there with the intention of getting some new skills under my belt. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>My time in Mongolia was mainly spent in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, itself with a jaunt out to Terelj National Park to experience a bit more of the Nomadic life and see some nature. The city was awesome and not at all what I had expected. </b></span><br />

I absolutely LOVED Ulaanbaatar! Such an interesting city with so much going on! A huge chunk of my time was spent doing workshops so whenever I had extra time I packed in some hardcore sightseeing and a bit of sampling of the Mongolian vegetarian restaurants!! I hopped around a load of temples, went to the folk theater to experience some Mongolian throat singing, visited the palace and also had the fantastic opportunity to spend some time with a local family in the Ger District. I got to visit an NGO called Asral to learn about the wonderful work they are doing that supports the ger families that are living in UB's sprawling city slums which was really eye opening. Mongolia was probably my favourite travel adventure I have taken to date. It was both weird and magical. I adored every minute!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>The countryside was a challenge for me as I'm not really one for nature. It was however amazing to experience true Mongolian hospitality in the home of Mr.B and his family and to do random stuff such as hold a real life eagle and go horse riding up a mountain in a thunderstorm. I also rode a cart pulled by a yak, drank fermented mare's milk and had to dry my socks on the family stove whilst Hercules (dubbed in Mongolian) played in the background!! I got to see a Shamanist ritual and drink salted milk tea with chunks of cheese thrown in!!! </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>It was such a beautiful country and learning about Nomadic life was fascinating and inspiring. I feel I only scratched the surface of what Mongolia has to offer. Mongolia had the bluest skies I have every seen and landscape like no other. Likewise with the workshops I did, they were incredible and I was able to get an insight into some incredible craft traditions as well as meet some wonderful people. I am going to save the workshops for a separate post as they deserve their own focus!! </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>I could talk forever about the Mongolian adventure, but I shall leave you with a selection of photos from my trip!!!</b></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Hellooo!!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">It's taken me a while to get around to writing about my trip back to Europe a few weeks ago...but finally here it is!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">My one year anniversary with Seoul also marked a way overdue trip back to British soil to see family and friends and indulge in a few Euro joys such as bread, cheese and Cadbury's!! A year is such a LONG time to be away and not see people for but, in honesty time has whizzed by so quickly here that it didn't quite feel it had been so long. I was super excited to go back and see everyone and even do the simple things like be able to dye my hair without the fear of using Asian hair dye... a bit of shopping, grabbing a 'Boots Meal Deal', seeing that little 'veggie' symbol on menus, decent cake and not having to struggle with the lingo!!! It was lovely!!! </span></b><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Actually the first thing I did when touching down in Heathrow before flying up North to Newcastle was sprint into WHSmiths and grab a packet of Salt and Vinegar Discos and a copy of 'Take a Break'!!!</b></span><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">After only being exposed to Asian culture for so long it was strange to suddenly be surrounded by voices that I could understand and not see the Korean quirks that I have become so accustomed to such as the old hand on the elbow when passing things or the occasional little bow of the head.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">It was so nice to go back to visit!! My time in the UK was short-lived as I was headed off on a juicy Eurotrip with my family. So after a whistlestop visit of friends, family, new babies, Tescos, Topshop and the beach it was off to sunny Dubrovnik for some downtime and good coffee!!</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">We had rented a beautiful apartment in a 100 year old, traditional Croatian house in the little alleyways of Dubrovnik Old Town with this utterly GLORIOUS view!!! By far the best view I have ever woken up to in my life!!! One of my favorite parts of the day were the breakfasts on the terrace with these lovely blue skies!! Every morning would involve a trip to the local bakery to pick up warm bread and freshly baked burek- how I have missed decent baked goods here in Korea!!! </span></b><br />

We had the most phenomenal guide, a lad called Dino, who was able to share so many stories from his personal experiences during the war involving him fleeing from Dubrovnik to Sarajevo with his Grandma.

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Last week I celebrated my one year anniversary with magical Korea!! I CAN NOT BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A WHOLE YEAR?!?! The time has flown by, it really has...I still feel as if the whole experience is still new and to be honest there hasn't been a day when I've felt like the novelty has worn off or haven't appreciated being here. That's not to say that there aren't things that I miss about the UK, namely family and friends (and things like crumpets and salt & vinegar crisps!!) but, all in all this past year has been one of my favorites so far!</b></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Moving to Asia was something that I had set in my sights for many, many years</span></b>. <b><span style="color: #351c75;">Much as I loved living and working in London for several years, once I started taking on more work overseas and traveling a lot with my artist residency projects I knew that I needed to dedicate myself to giving somewhere totally new a shot at calling home. After spending a few months in Korea in 2013 working with Incheon Art Platform during my time as artist in residence on Baengnyeong Island I knew that magical Seoul was the place I wanted to be!</span></b><br />

One thing I love here is experiencing such a diverse arts scene in Seoul. There is so much going on and there is a tremendous value placed on creativity here which means there is always something new going on whether is be exhibitions, seminars, workshops, artist talks or community projects so I find the environment here really inspiring and encouraging in terms of generating my own new pieces. Being surrounded by a total cultural contrast to my own has equally pushed me in new directions with my own research and approach to my creative ideas. My focus on the upcoming months is to learn more about traditional Korean textile methods, specifically natural dyeing and canvas folk painting...so I'm excited as I embark upon the upcoming year or so here to add some new strings to my bow as there as so many interesting little workshops going on! My most recent workshop that I attended was learning how to make a paper lotus lantern which I did at a temple taught by a wonderful volunteer who was a bakery teacher and a Japanese major!!!</span></b><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>I would be here all day if I were to try to sum up an entire year of what has gone down here in lovely Korea. It's been a busy and exciting year and I feel that I've really got to know Seoul~even after a whole year I've never felt like I've exhausted the city and feel there is still so much I've yet to experience!! I've been lucky to make some wonderfully talented and inspiring friends here and I love this place more and more as each day passes....yayyyy excited for more adventures and exploits here in magical Seoul. I am so grateful to have this chance to be able to live in such a country that continues to interest, challenge and inspire me so much meaning that I'm super conscious of making the most of every precious moment that I have in this awesome country!!! So in a nutshell this past year... cherry blossom festivals, road trips, beautiful countryside, Korean language lessons, urban hiking (!!! in ballet shoes!!!), endless exhibitions, parks and forests, cakes and bibimbap, lotus blossom tea, bungeoppang, bingsu, climbing fortress walls, magical mystery bus trips, Korean borders, riding to the end of the subway line, trips to watch the ballet, picking persimmons, jaunts to Japan, reunions in Hong Kong, dressing up in Hanbok, climbing 'mountains', old prisons, candyfloss on Wolmido Island, sweet potatoes in Yangpyeong..... ahhh so many memories!! Anyway, I will cease rambling on and leave you with some of my favorite snaps from throughout the year including some from my travels to Japan also!!!</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>KONNICHIWA!!!!! So last month I whizzed off with my little pink suitcase again for a lovely jaunt to Japan!!! This time around I headed to Okayama city so that I could use it as a springboard to check out the quaint old town of Kurashiki and mainly so I could head to Naoshima Island. It's so handy living in Korea as it means it's only an hour and a half or so to travel to Japan~ in fact it takes me longer to get to Incheon airport on the subway from my house than it does to fly to Japan!! One of my missions over this past year has been to explore more of Japan and living so close has given me the perfect opportunity to see the parts of the Japan that have been sitting on my bucket list for so long, waiting to be explored!</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Naoshima Island, that lies in the Seto Inland Sea, has been a place that I have dreamed of visiting for so many years!! This tiny little island trimmed with pine trees and sandy beaches is famous for it's contemporary art and boasts an bunch of galleries, museums and public installations. It is also home to a couple of pieces by Yayoi Kusama, who is one of my most respected artists, and Naoshima is famous for her pumpkin on the pier.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>The island is home to so many interesting art projects and initiatives and it was really amazing to get to visit and see it all with my own eyes.... so anyway back to arriving in Okayama!!!!</b></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Okayama is a relatively small city and isn't super touristy so it was nice to be able to wander around without the crowds and check out it's lovely castle and famous Korakuen gardens. The weather was slightly warmer than Seoul during the time I was there which was lovely as the plum blossoms had just started to bloom!</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">I stayed in central Okayama which was great as there were a bunch of old school shopping streets and arcades in the area as well as little cafes and places to eat!! When I was there I took the train to the nearby town of Kurashiki which is full of winding, traditional streets sitting on a canal. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">The place reminded me a lot of lovely Mino!!! </span></b><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Kurashiki
was awesome...little museums, cafes and shops tucked around every
corner! There is also a nice shrine that offers views over the town! So many yummy snacks too including black sesame ice cream!!!</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>A trip to Japan is always, of course, an excuse to indulge in some shopping for goodies!! On this occasion mainly cute stationary, glorious snacks and a mega haul of green tea!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>I was also excited that Starbucks had just launched their Sakura seasonal specials menu so I made sure I got a hefty slice of cherry blossom chiffon cake and a divine 'Caramelly Sakura Choco Latte' every morning!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>I really took advantage of the glorious sakura goodies whilst I was there.....cherry blossom tea, sakura chocolate, sakura mochi, sakura milk tea, sakura ice cream.....and along the same theme....plum blossom potato chips?!?!?! Made the most of the endless daigaku imo (college potatoes!!)...steaming matcha on tap....and of course the odd taiyaki here and there!!!!</b></span><br />

Most incredible start to the day!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">The first thing I spotted when rolling into Miyanoura was the much anticipated Kusama red pumpkin!! I'd been super excited to see this gem sitting in amongst fishing boats and the likes in the port!!!</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Naoshima is a small island and I actually ended up deciding to take to the island entirely on foot simply because I didn't want to miss ANYTHING, so the bus and bike options were out the window!! So glad that I decided to walk the island because it gave me a change to saunter through the towns and enjoy lovely, long walks past fields, orange trees, along the beautiful coastline and through little clusters of houses en route!! Perfect way to see Naoshima! Oooohh and also....there happens to be a WONDERFUL vegan restaurant on the island which I hunted out...my lunch was AMAZING!!!!There are several large galleries on the island and I opted to take in the 'Art House Project' and Benesse House. There were so many places I wanted to check out but these two were top of my list!!!</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">The art house project was my favourite as it was collection of existing residential properties in the Honoura district that had been interpreted by Japanese artists.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">One particular piece, 'Go-o Shrine' by artist, Hiroshi Suhimoto, was especially interesting as there was a set of crafted glass steps leading underground from the shrine into a chamber. People could access the underground chamber two at a time using a torch to find your way~ it was really incredible!!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">I could talk forever about magical Naoshima~ my time on the island was AMAZING....one of the most memorable and awesome places that I have visited in Japan so far!!! Incredibly beautiful!!! Was so great also to get to see some beaches and sea as living inner city here in Seoul I often miss the seaside!! I was lucky that the weather was perfect! It was just beginning to get warmer and it felt really springlike!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">So instead of rambling on anymore, I shall leave you with a bunch of photos from my Japanese adventure!!!!!!</span></b><br />

To say this past few months or so have flown by is an understatement.... AS IF I have just celebrated the 9 month mark here in Korea?!?! I really can't believe I've been here so long as to be honest the whole scenario still feels as new and exciting as it did the day I touched down at Incheon airport back in April!</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>This country still continues to inspire and amaze me on a daily basis, even on the less eventful days. The novelty of living in Seoul hasn't worn off and I find myself adoring the place more and more as time passes. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>I've tried to do, see or experience at least one new thing every single weekend but, despite being here for so many months I still feel that there is an outrageous amount of stuff I still didn't see or do!Which is kind of nice to imagine all of the exciting adventures and magical things I've still yet to encounter here!! Life in Korea is everything I'd imagined and hoped it would be and more!!! </b></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">So far I've managed to see quite a lot of Seoul and several of the nearby smaller cities around Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do despite having a lot of commitments here in Korea such as work, my Korean studies, midnight sewing, endless research and of course building a life in a totally new environment. It's been super important to me since day one to always make the most of living here and to never feel like I've wasted a second of this opportunity to live in such a magical city on the other side of the world. My time here so far has been glorious and has involved an abundance of cake, back street wanderings, countryside jaunts, so many awesome exhibitions and galleries, deluxe food, roaming around forests, a bit of temple hopping and so many other joys! I've been lucky to meet a lot of incredibly talented and inspiring people as well as make some wonderful friends. I adore the art scene here especially the smaller scale, independent initiatives that are buzzing with creativity in even the smallest of neighborhoods!!</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">I love the old school charm of many of the more residential areas as there is so much lurking around every corner!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Seoul is such a fun place to live and is so different to anywhere else I've ever called home before. I feel it would be virtually impossible to ever get bored of this city purely because there is so much to it and there is constantly something changing or going on.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">So I realised that I've been mega slow with sharing photos of my adventures here in Korea over these past few months...the reason being that I take a ridiculous amount of pictures here and by the time I get around to wanting to post some, I've already taken a load more so there's a serious backlog situation!! (Yep, I've now got an action packed file of a whopping 9000 photos that I've taken since arriving in Asia last year....the temptation of snapping every little memory is too much to resist!!)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">I'm going to leave you with a few photos from over my time so far here in Korea~!! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Until next time!</span></b><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Hello from festive Seoul!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Been meaning to share this picture for a while now of super talented UK stylist and designer, <a href="http://www.twinksburnett.com/" target="_blank">Twinks Burnett</a> wearing my embellished leotard from my <a href="http://emma-bell.com/collections/the-hives-of-lepi-spomini/" target="_blank">'Hives of Lepi Spomini' collection</a>. The piece was designed as part of my wearable art series produced whilst based in Slovenia working as part of the 'GuestRoom Maribor' artist residency project.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>I absolutely love Twinks' vision as it's so colourful and magical... so I was SUPER happy when she called in my pieces for an awesome shoot!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>The fruits of this rainbow fandango are still under wraps....but I look forward to unleashing these beauties as the shoot was totalllllly dreamy and of course as gloriously colourful as you can imagine it would be!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>So keep those eyes peeled and in the meantime check out her wonderful work: <a href="http://www.twinksburnett.com/" target="_blank">www.twinksburnett.com </a></b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>oHHhh Hiya from CHILLY Seoul~( Winter finally arrived! Minus 2 some mornings this past week....to think just a couple of months ago it was hitting the horrendous humidity of 38 degrees!!!)</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Thought I would share some rainbow photos from a recent adventure~ so last month I took advantage of a long weekend and hotfooted it over to magical Hong Kong for a whistlestop jaunt! This is one of the things I love so much about living in Seoul~ it's perfectly located for hopping around other cities in Asia with it being a mere stones throw away from Japan and only a short flight away from soooo many other glorious dreamlands... so any hint of a long weekend and I'm taking the chance to grab my little suitcase and see more of beautiful East Asia!!! </b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Hong Kong has long been one of my favourite places on Earth and a place I have found myself a few times over the years for both work and holiday~ it had been a long time since I last had the joy of visiting this rainbow land of dim sum and neon so I felt it was a way overdue trip! And also to visit my dear, old chum Gloria who I hadn't seen since a glitter filled night at 'Circus' during the Soho Revue days when she trotted over to London!!! She was as ever the perfect host as she knows THE BEST places in town so it was veggie gourmet feasts ahoy... you can follow her global adventures as she writes and tracks down the most awesome food all over the world, so check out her instagram: <a href="http://instagram.com/foodandtravelhk" target="_blank">foodandtravelhk</a> !!!</b></span><br />

I was staying in Causeway Way which was also one of the protests sites so it was really poignant to see the 'Umbrella Revolution' as it unfolded on my doorstep and really incredible to see so many passionate people, peacefully standing up for what they believe. Also somewhat strange because only hours before I'd seen the scenes on the news and then suddenly found myself standing in those very same scenes. </span></b><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>These protests are such a key moment in HK's future so it was really incredible to see people voicing their thoughts and hopes in a way that was so dignified and calm~ There were little gazebos set up offering food and drinks to the all-nighters and and overall nice sense of comradery.</b></span><br />

I'd been DESPERATE for some Chinese food for months as the last I'd had was a Kung Po extravaganza of a takeaway before I left the UK!! And HK does vegetarian feasts to absolute perfection!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>250,00000000 dishes and a million gallons of jasmine tea later and it was onto dessert which was dreamy matcha ice cream topped with shiratama rice balls and piles of azuki from a glorious Japanese dessert cafe called 'Via Tokyo' .... this place was amazing...I wanted everything on the menu!!!</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>One of my absolute favourite places in HK is Lantau Island~ it's breathtakingly beautiful and a total contrast to the mayhem of Kowloon with endless green mountains and teeny fishing villages~ so I was straight on the tiny, local bus winding my way up Ngong Ping to take in the giant Tian Tan Buddha and enjoy a deluxe veggie lunch from the cantine at Po Lin Monastery!!!</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Aside from a spot of sightseeing my trip mainly consisted of...glorious food, riding the Star Ferry, gossip times, shopping, walking for miles, night markets, drinking lots of tea, towers of deluxe neon, dim sum, more shopping.... and believe it or not MARKS & SPENCER!!!!!!! So my trip to Honkers pretty much marked the 6 month point of my foray into Asia....I can't believe how fast time has gone and that I've been living as an official Seoulite for more than half a year!! Needless to say it was getting to the point where one or two cravings were starting to kick in...namely mint sauce, veggie gravy and of course CHUTNEY!!! The first time the chutney craving ever kicked in was back when I was living in Taiwan...until then I didn't really like chutters....but now I'm obsessed.... so 6 months without and I was more that ready for a nice cheddar and chutney sarnie....!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>So whilst I was in HK I used the opportunity to fill my suitcase to the brim with lots of British products ready to haul back to Seoul.....honestly the absolute joy of going into a M&S and stocking up on jam rings, salt and vinegar crisps, veggie Percy Pigs, spiced chutney, cranberry sauce ready for Christmas, shortbread, fudge.....GLORIOUS!!!!...then imagine my delight when I found another shop selling an abundance of Dairy Milk, Maltesers, MARY BERRY FRUIT CHUTNEY (?!?!?!!? I've never even found this in the UK!!!) Lemsips, Strepsils.....and all number of treats!!! As you can imagine my little Korean kitchen is now full of all number of treasures!!! Don't even get me started on prepacked sandwiches either....I was beyond ecstatic to also stumble across Pret A Manger so was straight in there... I'd actually forgotten about it's existence !!!!!!!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Ok... so all in all such a magically wonderful trip of dreams....I won't be leaving it so long next time as there's still soooo much I still want to see in HK and plenty more gossip to be had!!!! So I shall leave you with a few snaps....</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>I'm off to crochet some Granny Squares and brew up some chai~ weird to think that only last month I was tropically hot in HK and now I'm freezing and wrapped up in Winter coats and scarves in Korea... so nice to finally see some lovely autumnal weather though and have an excuse to crack out some fluffy knitwear?!!!!!!!! Seoul has been looking SUPER exquisite as we now near the end of this short but beautiful Autumn...so next time I'll share some snaps of how pretty this city looks with all it's red maple leaves and twinkling, golden ginkgo trees~ sad that they've mainly all fallen already!!!</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>KONNICHIWA!!!! So last week I arrived back in Seoul from a little trip over the water to Japan!! (yes, AGAIN!) That weekend saw the celebration of Chuseok in Korea so I decided to zip away from the crazy National holiday mayhem and take the opportunity to see a bit more of Japan!</b></span><br />

I've wanted to visit Hiroshima for many years so it was amazing to eventually go and learn more about the place~as you can imagine it's a pretty sombre place but, at the same time it's a beautiful city.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>When I arrived into Hiroshima I had scored a room with the most incredible view right across the Peace Park and set on the banks of the river was the A-Bomb Dome building surrounded by endless green mountains. It felt a bit strange to be able to see such a prominent and symbolic sight from my actual bed...but, it felt more powerful opposed to depressing.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>When I was over there I split my time between Hiroshima and Miyajima- an island around an hour away. Hiroshima was massively interesting and really intense....I checked out the Peace Memorial Museum and Park, Genbaku Dome as well as Hiroshima Castle... the Museum was incredible...I learned so much that I didn't know about the city, not only about it's destruction but, also it's story about how it was rebuilt to how it is today. The Peace Park is equally as moving with it's Children's Memorial Monument and endless strings of colourful, paper, peace cranes dotted around. </b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>During my time there I also did some shopping and lots of sampling of awesome veggie food around downtown Hodori!!!! </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>My first quest upon arrival was to pick up a box of daigaku imo~ This is one of my all time favorite Japanese snacks... Back when I was living with the Takahashi family in Mino during my artist residency in Japan a few years ago, I would live in hope when I opened my dinner bento that there would be a couple of 'College Potatoes' as they are also known...!!! They are basically fried sweet potatoes coated in sticky, sweet, sugary~honey and black sesame seeds....they are the ultimate snack of dreams!!! </b></span><br />

Luckily I took a virtually empty case so I could haul back an abundance of pastel pom poms, rainbow yarn galore and various delightful treasures and trimmings...also picked up some Japanese bamboo knitting needles which I'm super excited to use!!! Of course I also made sure I left adequate space to bring half of Daiso back with me as well as an outrageous amount of cute cosmetics, whopper supply of Matcha, couple of juicy new outfits....ooooppps and a few more little ceramic cups which I definitely do not need!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>So then it was on to Magical Mijajima~ a National Park set on an island about an hour away from Hiroshima city! I opted to take one of the cute, little green trams that you see trundling around opposed to the train which was really fun!!</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>One of the highlights of 'Farm Tomita' was their gourmet Lavender ice cream whipped up with crops fresh from their rainbow fields!!! I also had a cheeky slice of lavender cheese cake washed down with lavender lemonade...total lavender fest!! My Grandma would have loved it if she was still around as she was always obsessed with Yardley's Lavender!!! AMAZINGGGGG!!!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Shikisai No Oka was particularly magical as the colours of the fields were super vivid and the stripes went on for miles over the hill so it was a really impressive sight!!! They also had some glorious sunflower fields and cute characters made from bales of hay!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Really fun~ so glad I made the haul so far up north as was beyond worth it to see these magical little towns!!!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>The rest of the time I spent checking out Sapporo and also popped to the Hokkaido Shrine...did a spot more shopping (of course!!!) and before I knew it, time was up and it was time to head back to Sunny Seoul....!!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Such a fun trip, a one I will never forget...got to see so many lovely things, take a break from work...collect some new ideas....and with all that travelling and sitting on various modes of transport I had time to catch up on some reading and write some Tolstoy length journal entries....!!! It was so good that the ridiculous amount of miles I racked up ended up killing my shoes and I had to leave the hologram beauties shimmering in a collapsed pile by the trash en route to Chitose Airport!!! The amount of souvenirs and lavender flavoured candy also caused my bag to break?!?!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Anyway, I shall leave you with a few more snaps from the trip of dreamzzzz!!! For now it's back into the swing of things with life here in lovely Seoul...so I shall be updating on other happenings soon!!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Ok... so a few more photos for you whilst I crack on with my homework for my Korean class in the morning!!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Sayonara Japan~ Until next time!!!!!</b></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Oooeeee </span></b><b><span style="color: #351c75;"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="ko"><span class="hps">안녕하세요 </span></span>that's HELLO in Korean!!!( Annyeong haseyo!!!)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Now I've started my Korean classes I'm trying to whip out the lingo at every opportunity!!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">So just a quick one...as you know I've been recently involved with Malaysian fashion store LLL+ which is an international creative venture by KL based boutique LAH'LAH'LAND. LLL+ is a guerrilla concept store that brings together brands and design talent from all over the world including the UK, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Ukraine and Hong Kong.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">The store inhabits a 2200sq ft space located in Sungai Wang Plaza in Kuala Lumpur's Bukit Bintang district with the focus of introducing independent designers to the Malaysian fashion scene.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">It's been awesome working with these guys as they are doing some awesome projects that support and promote indie artists and designers so it's really fun to be involved! I have a collection of garments currently in LLL+ including some exclusive pieces designed especially for the space! At the weekend the LAH'LAH'LAND crew hosted the official launch party with sponsors, Tony & Guy and Heineken, and as part of the launch, presented an opening runway show... So some of my pieces were included in the show and you can see above a photo by Streething featuring my 'Puffycakes' jacket! Love the way it was styled!!!!!!!!! The show looked awesome and I'm really excited to be involved in the LLL+ venture! There's still some juicy pieces available to be snapped up if you are in KL~!!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">As I said, just a quick'un....rice cakes are calling~ </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Love from Tropical Seoul!!!</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #20124d;">OOOoooOOO HIYA from TROPICALLLL Seoul!!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #20124d;">YIKES....time has TOTALLY flown! I can't actually believe that I've been here in magical Korea for 2 months already! Seems only 5 minutes ago that I was seizing the final opportunity to stock up on Cadbury's at the airport and buying a last Boots Meal Deal! At the same time I feel as though things have been so action packed here that it's almost as though I've lived here for an eternity! Everything has continued to be super busy...when I'm not working, I'm taking advantage of every precious second that I have here in glorious Korea and trying to see and experience as much as I physically can! Korea amazes me every single day and I still have to pinch myself to believe that I am actually living here in GLORIOUS Seoul and surrounded by so much phantasmagorically awesome inspiration every day!</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #20124d;">So I guess the settling in process is something that takes a while...I'm still grasping the finer details of things like operating my toaster oven in Korean...collecting points cards for supermarkets...buying potting compost instead of accidental bags of horse manure etc...!!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #20124d;">My apartment is starting to feel like home...especially now that I have a windowsill full of plants (namely basil plants as I made the mistake of planting the whole packet of seeds at once instead of staggering the crops!)...and I also have some pets... 3 teeny, tiny baby fish who I have named; Britney, Liberace and Puffycakes...they have their own little tropical rainbow paradise complete with palm trees! </span></b><br />

So as promised, I was going to give the Yayoi Kusama exhibition it's very own blog post just because it was simply soooo AMAZINGGG!!!! I've been a MASSIVE fan of her work for years~ more so since having the chance to first see some of her work in the flesh when I attended the Aichi Triennale in Japan a few years ago... So I was SUPER SUPER SUPER EXCITED when I heard that she had a solo show opening here in Seoul!!!</b></span></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">So my lack of blogging recently has been SHOCKING! Mainly because there have been some MASSIVE changes which have meant my time has been super limited over this past couple of months....but, in short, to fill you in on the gossip... I HAVE MOVED TO MAGICAL SEOUL!!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">It is an adventure that I have actually been thinking about for a good couple of years and after my experiences here in Korea last year during my artist residency with Incheon Art Platform, this kind of cemented my decision to uproot myself and give life a try in Korea.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Obviously it was a huge deal to pack my bags and move to the other side of the world but, it's such a dream come true and I'm SUPER happy to be here!</span></b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">As you may have noticed my time here in Korea last year had a MASSIVE impact on me, not only in a work sense~ I totally fell in love with this place for so many reasons mainly the people, the way of life, the cultural heritage, the contemporary art scene, the dedicated work ethic, the food, the fashion, the colourful streets, the pride that the country has in it's own cultural identity and of course the fact that the visual aesthetics of Korea are like gold to any creative person... so in short I pretty much love everything about it here... ( well, except from the oversized bugs and spiders of course!) and the idea of totally throwing myself into the experience of living and working in an environment that is such a dramatic contrast to my norm is possibly the most exciting thing in the world! I find nothing more awesomely exhilarating and phenomenally inspiring than totally immersing myself in alien situations with a whole bunch of new challenges, people, experiences and influences surrounding me!</span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">So the past couple of months were mega hectic in making this happen and I touched down in Korea just 3 weeks ago~it's been a whirlwind of paperwork and preparations in the run up to the big departure.... and one of the most major aspects.... I HAD TO GO AU NATUREL with my hair?!?! FIRST TIME IN A MILLION YEARS!!! I figured that in the long term the upkeep of bleaching my roots in Asia was going to be a nightmare and not as easy as I'm accustomed to... so it was farewell to pastel, pony hair and now I'm officially a brunette which is WEIRD!!!</span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">As I mentioned, I arrived 3 weeks ago so I've been mainly focused on settling in, making my new home all pink and sparkly, adjusting to my work commitments, catching up with old friends, checking out my favourite haunts and basically seeing what's going on in the wonderful city! So after my previous experiences of rural-vs-urban Korea last year, much as my time on little Baengnyeongdo gave me the most intense and close up peek into Korean life and true community spirit that I could have ever wished for.. well... I think we have established that I'm more suited to city life.... so Seoul was my city of choice when shifting over here!!! </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">I'm living in a nice little neighbourhood in Eastern Seoul~ which has a nice mix of greenery and neon as well as a tonne of little cafes, shops and restaurants sitting right on my doorstep... (it is also only a short walk to a multi-floor Daiso and a wonderfully aromatic market arcade full of colourful fruit, vegetables and various other practical finds!) I have a cute little apartment which is super cosy and I'm gradually turning it more pink and plastic by the day!!! I'm also located right by a metro station which is perfect for getting out and about around the Seoul and beyond...I'm only a few short stops away from the fabric markets which is AMAZING!!!</span></b></div>

I'm also excited to try and learn Korean (I've spent the past few months learning how to read and write in Hangul and now I'm trying to build up my vocab and practical conversation...so I will keep you updated on my journey with the lingo here as it's MEGA TRICKY!!) I'm really excited about working here and the new people I will meet~it's the perfect time to expand some of my skills and learn new things which is pretty exiting!

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Hiya/ </span></b><b><span style="color: #351c75;"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="ko"><span class="hps">안녕하세요</span></span>!!!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Just a quick one to share some news about a new exhibition, featuring my work, that opened in S.Korea yesterday!!! </span></b><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>The show, </b><b><i>'2013 Platform Artists - Final Report by 2013 Resident Artists of
Incheon Art Platform'<!--2013--><!--2013--></i>, will be running 16th January 2014~23rd February 2014 and showcases the projects carried out by all of the artists in residence that participated in IAP's international programmes throughout the past year.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>The show presents the work of 42 artists/ 32 groups from 11 countries who participated in both the Incheon Art Platform Residency and the Baengnyeong-do Peace Arts Project during 2013 and the exhibition includes the fields of; performance, visual arts, interactive installation, digital media, literature & criticism, painting and photography. The overall concept of the residency programme, which is an initiative operated by IAP and the Incheon Foundation for Arts and Culture, is to support and facilitate both Korean and International contemporary artists in a creative exploration focused on a response to the City of Incheon and its characteristics. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>As I've spoken about before, my particular project was based around Korea's most Northwestern island, Baengnyeongdo, and I was the first overseas artist to participate in this programme when it launched in March 2013~ which was a really exciting experience and allowed for a really inspiring chapter of work. The work that I am contributing to the current exhibition is from my series,<a href="http://emma-bell.com/collaborations/incheon-art-platform-south-korea/" target="_blank"><i> 'Tales from Blue Truck Island' </i></a>that I produced both during and post residency with IAP. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>The exhibition will be running in venues A. B & H at Incheon Art Platform until 23rd February so for those of you in Seoul/ Incheon feel free to pop along and check out the show~</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>It's open daily 10am-5pm (closed Mondays) and you can access IAP via public transport ( Incheon Station- Subway line 1 or Buses 15, 28, 720 to Jung-gu District Office).</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Ooooh Hiya!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>So recently I have been working on some new digital artwork to accompany my 'Tales from Blue Truck Island' project that I produced during my artist residency in Korea earlier this year. As you know the project involved a long term stay in a little, yellow bungalow on a remote and incredibly isolated, rural island called Baengyneong which sits in a somewhat precarious location in the middle of the Yellow Sea.... During my time there I was focused on conducting a lot of field research and seeking of influence from the special people, situations and experiences that I had through living as part of the Baengnyeongdo community... photography and illustration were a part of my daily journaling and research projects and as a result I have since been developing a piece of digital artwork that sits alongside the series of work that I developed in Korea. It features all sorts of elements taken from the themes and topics that I was exploring throughout my project... you can see the noisy roosters outside of the studio that cock-a-doodle-doed 24 hours a day... the corncobs that the Grandma in my favourite little, village grocery store used to give me and of course the Spring cherry blossoms in my neighbour's garden that I waited in anticipation for, for many chilly weeks and finally bloomed in my last few days on the island!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>A few snaps from my island life days of beans on toast, giant spider dodging, starfish hunting and pebble beach, countryside adventures...</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b></b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>....The piece is titled 'Blue Truckers' and as you can see the print features on some brand new, limited edition T-shirts that are now available on my <a href="http://emmabell.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">online shop!!!</a> Yayyyy!!

<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>So I've talked a lot about this particular project as a massive chunk of my work, focus and collaborations this year have been linked to my posting as artist in residence with 'Incheon Art Platform' in South Korea a few months back, so I wont go into the full speile again!!! But, it's been awesome that the works and research documentation that I began when I was based over there have had the opportunity for so much movement and exposure and it's been really great to be involved with the Peace Art initiative and the exhibition as it's such a fascinating project. The work I have been showing is from my <i>'Tales From Blue Truck Island'</i> series and the second leg followed the exhibitions' debut on various venues on Baengnyeong Island throughout the summer.</b></span><br />
