If you've been following this blog, then you know that artist Lie Fhung has been creating an art installation called "Dream Archives" using Kolo Havana Boxes which will exhibit beginning this fall in Jakarta, Indonesia, along with her Universal Scrapbooks project (for which Fhung is using the new Kolo Kaji 12x12 scrapbook album).

This is Dream Archives Portal #007, a work in progress. Fhung explains:

As you can see in the first photo, I cut a hole on the back end of the box. Through that hole, you can see the cutting mat surface on my table. Dream Archives #007 is still waiting for its porcelain component to be fired in the kiln. I will have to accumulate enough items to fill up the kiln for time and energy efficiency in the firing - I expect to be able to do the firing in a week or so. Meanwhile, the box itself is done - it now has two peeping spyglasses on the lid, as you can see from the third photo, above. I inked and sanded the surface for the scruffy, worn look.

Lie Fhung is an accomplished "digiscraptist" and graphic designer, but perhaps best known for her ceramics work. She resides in Hong Kong, but is originally from Indonesia, where her solo art exhibitions have been celebrated in the capital city, Jakarta. Known as "The Mother of Ceramics" in her home country, lately Fhung has been working on this Dream Archives art installation. Previous "Portals" of the Dream Archives project have appeared on Koloist, which you can see by going here and scrolling down).

You're invited to participate in Fhung's Universal Scrapbooks project by providing an object representing a dream, which will be included in the Universal Scrapbook (a Kolo Kaji album). The Universal Scrapbook will go on exhibit as part of the Dream Archives art installation, beginning autumn 2009. To learn more, go here.
