***keep_mailing*** PORTRAIT MADE OF SOCKS

  Portrait Made of Socks by Hong Yi



Hong Yi is a young Malaysian artist who "likes to paint, but not with a paintbrush."

 Instead, she uses all kinds of unconventional objects like coffee-cup stains 

to produce a phenomenal portrait of

 Taiwanese musician Jay Chou.This time she has created a portrait of a famous Chinese film

 director Zhang Yimou, by hanging hundreds of socks from a bamboo stick on an old residential 

alleyway."When I first moved to Shanghai, I stumbled upon an old residential alleyway and saw 

bamboo sticks poking out of windows with laundry hanging onto them, waving in the air. 

To me, that was incredibly beautiful", she said.Hong Yi ended up using 750 pairs of socks 

"because shirts were too big and expensive", but not before piquing the curiosity of 
the local residents who gave her a helping hand.
