- Cold Mountain 6 (Bridge) is an abstract work that references Chinese landscapes and poetry. Can you imagine this as a landscape? What environmental features would you encounter if you were to enter this landscape? What do you see that makes you think so?
- What is the mood of this place? What do you see that makes you say that?
- The composition of this work fills the frame. What do you imagine happens beyond the edges of this painting?
