Art Inspired by the James Webb Space Telescope by Joan Lok

Joan Lok was part of a small group of artists invited by NASA to view the James Webb Space Telescope at the Goddard Space Center in Maryland in 2016.  She created artwork in a mixture of Eastern and Western techniques and materials.  Additional events including the 2017 Great American Eclipse, and the 115th birthday of Lingnan Master Chao Shao An in 2020, are also combined to create artwork featuring the Webb Telescope. Joan also utilized Japanese gold leaf folding screen and vintage kimono as bases for her Webb artwork.  Enjoy the presentation on her creative journey recorded below.
