Piece description from the artist
Sanya is a resort town in southern China that I visited at the end of my internship. This is considered the Hawaii of China. In one of the resorts, I poked my nose in and discovered a wall of past Miss World winners. I enjoyed Sanya because I was one of the token Americans amongst Russians and Asians, and was presumed to be a freshly single celebrity. Probably Katie Holmes. Anyway, a group of about ten Chinese men in floral swim trunks gestured for a photo, which I relished. My only regret was turning down their offer of a cigarette after the pictures. This collage depicts the road that ran parallel to the beach.
Carolyn Beehler is a paper artist living in Franklin, Tennessee. She was born in California but grew up in the South. She attended elementary school on Henpeck Lane and finished with art school in that same town at O’More College of Design. She spent the next number of years traveling to places like Shanghai, Italy and L.A., because she worried she’d settle down and never get to see the world. She returned in 2014 and now works as a paper artist. Carolyn also likes gardening, reading and baking.
