Artist Bio

This collaborative project unfolded slowly between four artists across Japan, New Zealand, and the UK.

PROCESS: A single painting was physically passed from one artist to another—with two guiding rules: first, each artist must spend time with the work every day for several weeks before making any marks;

second, they could then respond freely to what they saw.

OUTCOMES: Surprisingly, none imposed their signature style. An artist known for bold sumi ink gestures responded instead with quiet geometry. Another, whose large abstract works usually burst with deep primary colours, added delicate traces instead. The painting became a site of restraint and reverence.In a world of haste, this work asked us to inhabit time differently—to listen, wait, and respond with care.

Though the project paused due to illness and logistical challenges, its essence remains: a meditation on slowness, relation, and the planetary scale of creative time.

Later, this project was experimented by three different community groups and an exhibition was held.

This collaborative painting that unfolded slowly across Japan, New Zealand, and the UK. Passed between Flora Chan, Philip Tse, Moemi Takano, and Miria Miria, each spent weeks with the work before responding.
