Hui in PAIN the website was first constructed in 2003 during my third year at Fine Arts Studies. Many thanks to the exceptionally self-directed nature of the programme at Canterbury (or as many Aucklanders refer to as 'Ilam School of Fine Arts'), I as a painter could fully embrace the magical thrill of the World Wide Web and had since developped a long-lasting relationship with my online identity. PAIN in capital letters refer to painting, though other connoations are also suitable considering my - as some may call a rather 'cynical' - view of life. Oh life!

Many years has gone by and Hui has changed from in pain to hip (of course). With this comes a painful annal bill of a hundred bucks just to keep it alive. Oh but with the advance of the social media nowadays who really needs a website? And yes, this website is rather one-way. Although I consistently emphasise on the importance and my intense desire to communicate in my practice, I nevertheless couldn't care less what three-little some may have to say about what random thoughts I have.

So hey, this is HSIAOHUI - or not. I try to update and change (meaning hiding the embarassing past) as frequently as I could so it stays user-friendly (considering I am most likely the sole user of this site). Any change is a good change, so there you go.
