Mei Leung was a well-established ceramicist and a great friend to myself and many others in our community. I took these shots on my 5×4 film camera in her small studio-workshop. Mei was very diminutive in stature yet made figures almost her own size so it seemed appropriate to photograph her as part of her sculpture. After a long struggle with cancer Mei died in 2011; now she is remembered with quite extaordinary affection by the many people whose lives she enhanced.
