I love the colors. This is a very interesting composition, with a nice variety of elements to keep the eyes moving over the whole. It's a very dynamic image.

I am deeply fascinated my this image....How on earth do you make the bare spots like it is kind of threadbare or shabby (dont know if I in english can use these words, but I am sure you know what I mean) Like it is scraped og rubbed off. Looks fantastic and I just love your choice of colors. The look of motion trails in different directions are amazing and the ink work is gorgeous and adds to it. Yes you really impress me. Another masterpeace.

Fasciating. Your map work or scroll work gets more and more interresting and very original. I still can see you for my inner eye making these, and always I se you as a munk working very meticulous and detailed. Funny the images we get in our minds of eachother.

Mark your study in Oriental Scroll form has left me literally speechless as this is so intricate and amazing. Like Mina and Helle I too love the wonderful colors throughout and am drawn in by the trails. A full view inspection is a must and so enjoyable still when I take a far away view of the entire creation amazingly I see a tiger.

The first thing I noticed was the tension between the two sides - fer'shure makes the design stronger and more interesting - then the Rives name, which for me relates to Rives BFK a printing paper for intaglio work [my narrow world view!]. I read the left as a map, the right as an imagined image of the place the map may relate too. I haven't been there yet, maybe never will, but the map gives me a vision of the place. The tension of structure also relates to the tension of the concrete map vs the imagined place the map tells of. As a work-study student I worked as a museum guard in the Nelson-Atkins, which owns the largest collection of chinese art outside of china - but was not a popular spot for the guards, so I was usually assigned to that area: great for me as I loved the scrolls, screens and pottery. The vertical movement of the design does clearly echo those mountains and hills of oriental worlds, very subtle very finely done. The audience [viewer] always brings their own baggage [world view] to any image, the strength of the image is not in a correct reading of it, but in the ambiguity of it that allows one to take it in and make it one's own. I love your maps.

Mark,brings to my mind the idea of an uncoiling dragon or gigantic fish, with a strong vertical separating the head from the torso. I also see faces,mountains, and forests. an oriental landscape just waiting for the little human figures to appear and tell their story. Another deep work.
