This event has ended.
Using textures and abstractions photographed in China, I am examining the present culture and lifestyle of the ancient
cradle of Chinese civilization which is Shanxi Province and the current cultural and political cradle which is Beijing.
With the 2008 Olympics finally behind us, Beijing has emerged as a post-modern major international city in the global
arena. Working with photographic images from both of these unique locations in China I am combining textures and surfaces which reflect everyday life in China with images gathered from the many important cultural, archeological and historical sites, temples, art museums, and ancient cities around Shanxi Province and Beijing. The entire body of images weave together images of fragments and pieces from the present and the past found in these two extraordinary, historically significant places in China. The entire body of work ultimately suggests a rich cultural past overlaid on a future which is both full of challenges and hope as China transitions into an international super power.
