Artmaking
During her stay, Cheong Kiet Cheng visited historic areas in Hakata and Iki Island to compile local stories of mythology. From these, she produced a series of finely detailed ink paintings of gods, women and nature images including trees and birds. With the support of Yame City-based not-for-profit Sansonjuku, Cheong also visited the Okuyame area, which was ravaged by floods in 2012. During her stay in Yame, Cheong produced 14 paintings based on her conversations with residents there.
