October to December 2014 Mascha Mioni was Artist in Residence at the JinZe Art Center in Shanghai.
The center has posted on youku, the Chinese youtube, an animated slide-show with photos taken by Pan, the local photographer. (with sound and unfortunately some youku-ads)
The show gives a fast insight into Maschas artistic work on site, her colleagues and the exposition she installed in the newly built dyeing-room.
The works were created with chinese ink and fingerprints of red sealing wax on handmade paper, discarded bamboo-ropes, bricks lying in the court with raw cotton from the local village, an ash-blackened linen mop of the canteen cook and silk paint used in Shibori-technique.
My iPad has automatically created a portrait from my fotos 2016 shot in St. Petersburg, Corfu, Lucerne, New York, Houston and especially Mexico.

Preparing the work "RIng of Fire" for sending it to an exposition in Nagoya/Japan in September inspired me to create this matching Art to Wear jewelry

Scrap from the paper atelier at the Centro d'Arte San Augustin Etla (CASA) near Oaxaca/Mexico are the main attraction and at the same time reminder and high point.
