In 1998 I spent four months working at the Beijing Art Academy in China on a scholarship from the Australian Asialink Foundation. These geometric images are borrowed from lattice windows in a traditional Chinese courtyard garden where they draw subtle connections to unifying patterns of light and shade. Light is drawn visually as patterns of circulation and one becomes aware of seeing into things in an inclusive manner.
