Lobzang Palden, Tibetan Buddhist monk artist, well known for his very beautiful traditional thangka paintings, came to my studio. Even though he didn’t speak too much English and I don’t speak Tibetan, we were able to communicate through our art (and the help of wechat translater!) I was invited to visit him at Wutun monastery in Qinghai (Autonomous Tibetan Prefecture) and display my artpieces as part of my touring project to sacred sites around the world.

I was invited to install Infinite Distance, Immediate Presence, an immersive visual and sound installation in the Green T House; one of Beijing’s very special venues, as part of their Spring Tea Festivities. Special thanks to Jin R, Robbie Gilchrist, Nikolaus Ellrodt, Mich Camargo,  ZuHeng and Yiran for their energy on the day.

The local village… The Orchard restaurant, night markets, cherry blossoms, street food, tiny buses and more. Love it!

The days were busy, so I would often work late into the night in the studio.
