"nude by the creek" transforms and is now "yang" / by Philip Tarlow

1:53 PM : hard to keep up, eh? inspired by 17th c. chinese painting, nude by the creek has now become yang. a fold-out image from mai mai sze’s classic series of volumes gave me the path i’d been waiting for. figures from my menagerie of acropolis museum visitors integrate beautifully with the delicate patterning. a frog and a flying insect seem right at home with the meandering figures viewed from above.

i ran out of steam a little while ago, so i’ll pick up where i left off tomorrow morning.
