How does traditional art influence your image making?
Mist covered mountains on paper and silk paintings have filed my imagination since my late father brought one home from a trip to Beijing long ago. He loved Asia and China in particular. I think it’s because of his influence that I have also had a special place in my heart for Asia and always jump at a chance to travel there. Although it wasn’t obvious to me when I took it, this particular photograph was inspired by the mythical China we see in traditional art.
