Once the heat has come down, I like to contemplate the pursuit of form, the
yearning for natural scenery and the admiration of that scenery ? the
emphasis on physical presence that one finds in the landscape paintings of
the Sung Dynasty artist Fan Kfuan. Strolling through a mountain village
provides a contrast to this ? mountains, trees, rocks, people returning
home, boats on the river. Through the luster, flow, changes in coloration,
contrasting textures and tension of the glass, every scene creates a deep
sense of spiritual repose.
