LEE-PISAPIA Kam Fu Bernadette or LEE Kam Fu Bernadette
( order of name used in Hong Kong and Italy
alias
Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA
(order of name used in Britain, Canada )
alias
Bernadette Kam Fu LEE ( maiden name)
LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette
(order and form ( with a comma in between ) generally used in Hong Kong to distinguish
last name from first name)
Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA
(order generally used in Britain and Canada )
Bernadette is the writer as well as the publisher
the name chosen for the publisher ( not a registered company ) has two
formats:
LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette ( Hong Kong format), or LEE-PISAPIA Kam Fu Bernadette ( Italian format) . Therefore, the comma in between does not mean two distinct individuals as it is used to distinguish the last name and the first name in the Hong Kong format. For the other format, capital letter has been used to indicate the LAST NAME from the first name.
( from 06/09/2023, the Italain format is officially transformed to LEE Kam Fu Bernadette coniugata PISAPIA . However, the fully extended writing of my hyphenated Last Name is still maintained as my Canadian and Hong Kong identity : Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA)

self portraits
in colored pencils
done on procelain plates
decorated with roses
by an artist I know not
when I was twenty four
when I was twenty-eight
when I was twenty-nine
or when I was thirty-three or four
such was the first period of my life
to recall also
the second period of my life:
thirty three years spent in Italy
mainly as a student
studying painting
or lately
as a renewed student
studying old Hong Kong films
by sketching them while watching
a habit I came to acquire
when I attended Art History lectures
at the U of A in Canada
These portraits reminded me of those days
as a student
when we were given the assignment
to draw from photos
by turning them upside down
so you could get to be more objective
about treating the images as purely images made with tones and lines
and not as the person you know too well
in this case:
self-portraits
I did not draw these self portraits made from photo booths
upside down as years ago
But I am showing them
sideways
so you also see them
differently
in order to
to pay hommage
of my first dicovery
of the Picasso ladies:
her sideways kind of glance
perhaps when I was fourteen
(works done in 2015 , colored penicils sealed with resina on procelain plates )
