A drawing produced by Vu Thi Nhusha. It was made in response to the pictorial messages from her father, Vu Dan Tan.

During her early childhood years from two to six, Vu Thi Nhusha, daughter of Vu Dan Tan and Natasha Kraevskaia, was one of the participants in the children’s workshops organised by Vu Dan Tan. Her works includes mostly bright, colourful gouache drawings.

Apart from the engagement in those workshops, Vu Thi Nhusha had also been creating works with a drawing game initiated by her father. Tan would make drawings for Nhusha, each of them intended to deliver a message; she would then attempt to give responses by creating her own pictorial messages, imitating her father’s abstract style.

This visual dialogue was significant – though on a more personal dimension – to Vu Dan Tan. The present folder contains a part of the correspondence.
