The pink drawings, titled The Genius Loci of the Yangtze (1-7) were developed after a silent drawing retreat down the Yangtse River in 2018. When I arrived at my lodging at the end of the week, after I had been drawing the changing landscape daily, I drew these composite shapes from the fresh memories of what I had seen.
The yellow and red drawings involved a similar process, but responded instead to the Mississippi River front in New Orleans.
