Jinmei started to make art at the age of 50. In 2015, a surgery confined her to draw on paper only. The repetitive patterns she created were endearing, stubborn, and mysterious all at once. Stunned by her talent, I began compiling and sequencing her drawings in 2016 with the prospect of a book. In the following years, with a variety of materials including crayon, spatula, and crochet needles, Jinmei has created much more complex forms and textures. Her self-invented techniques have achieved incredible sophistication, her undulating lines and explosive dots punctuate the force of life and nature. In 2024, with the support from Huayu Youth Award, I was finally able to publish this book under my new imprint \u003cem\u003eHow Many Books\u003c\/em\u003e.
