Title: “DRAGON LAKE”
Size: 33.5” W x 31.5” H (unframed)
Story:
The skies are far more blues than grays
as sleepy dragons wake from laze
Unpleasant sights are none to clear
discordant sounds they barely hear
Ambrosial wind but faintly stirs
the silken beaded gossamers
The dragons give themselves to dreams
by lisping margins of her streams
Green grass and dew-steeped flowers
as Dragon Lake exalts her powers.
Materials:
Acrylic and metallic paint on heavy French water color paper veiled in handmade Japanese rice lace, bathed in melted beeswax and acrylic polymers, with insets of copper leafing, bordered with molded and sculpted Yixing plaster using 17th-18th century fabric stamps, then gold leafed, acid washed and painted, adorned at right with mid 1800s Mongolian tassel from a wedding tent, with mid-1800s silver bead from a shaman’s prayer beads, wrapped with yellow band of mid-1800s Chinese embroidery from a woman's dress, suspended from a rare 17th century Chinese "ghost" charm affixed with religious wax collected from holt temples and monasteries, all mounted onto museum board.
