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)

videos Per Padre Gianni can be viewed on my other website:www.bernadetteleepisapia.it especially realised by Bernadette for the family of Padre Gianni in Mazzano Romano and Capranica, Italy, thanking them for their hospitality
Dedicated to Roger my professor who was from RCA
who taught me at the U of Alberta in the eighties
whose famous saying is:
how does one depict the essence of an orange
sounding so oriental in approach, which led me to believe that the RCA had some mystical potential... And yet, I was feeling forever less oriental during my 12 days there -
which means I was encouraged to think ( cognitive ) instead of working out the problems with full oriental potential: the essence of anything can only be found when one is one with the Universe
this video was done during my stay there pretending to be a student for 12 days
the orange was a gift from the artist Louw whose installation at Tate Modern comprised of giving away oranges to visitors
The drawings I did during the 82 portraits of Hockney show are a way to bring back my days as a student in Edinburgh, where my interest of Hockney's refreshing works filled me with hope and happiness
( It was not easy to see simple colorful drawings with lines done so beautifully; especially portraits of Celia, for instance)
Thank you Hockney
Thank you Roger
This video was not shared during the show
I guess, without the Hockney show in London, I would have never enrolled at the RCA for 12 days, considering the sum one had to pay for the course.
