Empty Mountain

This mixed media art was inspired by the book, “Mountain Home: The Wilderness Poetry of Ancient China - David Hinton” This is such a crucial book for me because of when it arrived in my life, the person who purchased it for me and the impact it had - which is a tale too long to tell here. Let me just say though the effect that Tang dynasty poetry had on me back then, and still does, is profound.
