“Little Flames” Notebooks
12 unique art objects by Sophie Teh
“I grew up in Malaysia surrounded by symbols from the Taoist, Buddhist; and Hindu religions. A common one was fire. Flames and the act of burning is linked to purification and transformation.
I created the 'Little Flames' notebooks while I was working on a series of paintings called "My Body Is A Temple, But Not In That Way”.
The series is inspired by my childhood memories of religious artworks and rituals I saw in the temples I visited. I focused on the connection between symmetry and power, and the notebooks are a small part of this bigger body of work.”

A notebook that’s one of a kind
Each of these art objects are unique, just like you. All notebooks are hand made and signed by the artist; and varnished to protect the painting and different surfaces.
Make it yours
You can use this notebook to plan your next big project, as a journal; or for your everyday notes. It’s a B5 sized Muji ruled notebook with anti bleed through and smooth high quality paper.
Art that can wander around the city
Unlike a painting you hang on the wall, you can take these art objects anywhere you go. Use it to jot something down at a cafe, take it to the beach or bring it to your favorite coworking space.
