Gate: n. 1. an opening for passage
Sepia Ink on 65 Sheets of handmade Himlayan Paper

$4500.

This work is one of the most successful inks I've ever done. It explores, more closely, the breaking down of the dichotomy between being the viewer and the thing being viewed -- projecting our own meaning onto the form and realizing that we are actually projecting ourselves. The "Gate" is the realization of that projection.
