My journey through Tibet began
with a pilgrimage to Mt. Kailish in the Ngari region in
the west then on to Purang located close to the Indian and
Nepalese boarder, the former home of Lama Pema Wangdak.
My traveling companions were 2 monks, Lama Kunga, a Tibetan
monk who is the Director of the Pema T'sal Sakya Monastic
Institute in Pokhara, Nepal and Rinchen, a friend from the
US who studies at IBA, the International Buddhist Academy
in Kathmandu, Nepal. From there we went to Lake Manasarovar
and then traveled east stopping in Sakya, Shigatse, Gyantse
and then on to Lhasa. I was drawn to the thresholds- to
the liminal space and the anticipation of what may lie on
the other side. It resulted in a series of compositions
(sampled here) made from doorways and windows. Many other
series have resulted from this journey and will be posted
in the future.
