Between 1915 and 1917 the Russian composer, Sergei Prokofiev wrote
a series of twenty piano pieces. While playing them for a
gatheringof friends, the poet Konstantin Balmont wrote a sonnet
which entitled Mimolyotnosti which Kira Nikolayevna would translate
as Visions fugitives. Inspired by these dazzling miniatures, I have
assembled a jewel box containing twenty individual felt-tip
drawings on watercolor paper capturing fugitive visions of China.
For a country that has of late been focused on the future, I have
been fascinated by the search for a true contemporary regional
language in traditional Chinese architecture and painting. The
intricate and careful composition in relation to landscape and
light has been a continual revelation, as evidenced by the Summer
Palace on the outskirts of Beijing and vanishing water towns such
as Zhujiajiao, known as the "Venice of Shanghai."
