Story-Rock series

In Chinese traditions of art and aesthetics the imagery of a rock/mountain seeks to convey the representation of the mountain as an intermediary space between heaven and earth where the supplicant can find the possibility of spiritual “transformation” from the ordinary and the mundane through ascension to the holy and divine. The holes and spaces within the rock/mountain have important semantic functions as sacred spaces or entrances that lead beyond the material plane. Caves were often used and inhabited as places for worship and meditation in both Buddhist and Taoist religious and spiritual practices. The picturing of a mountain or cave then evokes a world manifesting the inseparable nature of the invisible realm of spirit with the visible realm of the forms.
