About the piece“Zen Mind/Silent Dialogue” is an on-going series of drawings inspired by my interest in meditation and Zen philosophy. Each drawing emerges from a singular contemplative experience. I incorporate the element of chance by allowing the metal leaf to land on the paper at will. Like life itself, this series reflects the elements of simple structure and random events.
