patterns in her work recall the mandalas used for meditation in Buddhism, and also show an affinity with Southeast Asian textiles. She has also incorporated language, including Pali Script and Vietnamese braille. Savanhdary often pierces the canvas with small holes (or has her father drill them for her). In some work the viewer can see through the work. In others she has pushed paint through the holes to create surface pattern. These works evoke weaving. Such delicate detail cannot be reproduced in photos; the works must be seen. Her work is represented by Martin Browne Contemporary in Sydney.
