If the fold isn't quite straight, you simply smooth it out and keep going. Sometimes the paper tears, and you turn it into something else instead. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we become afraid of wasting paper, making mistakes or starting again. Maybe that's why I enjoy painting these folded forms so much. They remind me that making something with your hands was never meant to be perfect—it was always meant to be joyful. Love always, Mummy xo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatherine Nguyen-Hoang is a contemporary artist whose paintings begin with something real—a gesture, a shadow, a memory.
