Artist’s Statement, October 1997:
The series I have called “I Ching Paintings” were developed over a period of seven years. My aim was to pursue a fresh interpretation of nature through my technique. On further study of “I Ching”, I was amazed to find that the metaphysical symbols in my pictures co-incided with the characters of “I Ching”. This made be believe deeply in the interaction between the universe of nature and human beings’ inner universe. In the paintings, I explore the relationship between human beings and nature. Changes are represented by using colours and numbers in a unity of opposites, with the aim of providing a true picture of the universe.
