China travels: small works on vellum

I journeyed to China in the fall of 2014. The scale of the land, people and cities was stunning.  Ancient culture, new visual languages, apparent in architecture and signage, prompted these small works on vellum.  Translucent vellum lends itself to water media where light is a compositional element. Transparency and opacity are partners in these works.
