For example Beijing cuisine often
incorporates sweet elements, and these flavours are prominent in dishes such as Peking duck and Jingjiang Rousi (slices of pork cooked in a sweet bean sauce served with soya bean wraps).
Although predominantly abstract, Rae's paintings have also occasionally
incorporated figurative
elements, including expressive typography in works such as Moonlite Bunny Ranch 2003, and small cartoon - like pandas, a recurring motif in her work from the mid-2000s onwards (see, for instance, Bold as a wild strawberry,
sweet as a naughty girl 2009).
