Artist Statement:


    Chinese calligraphy is the art of making elegant handwriting. It is a rare treasure in the history of civilization, and a unique gem of Asian culture. It is comparable to painting in its ability to evoke emotion and strength through a variety of forms and designs. The primary goal of Letters is to affect this cognition through presentation of calligraphy patterns built with procedural letters, textures, colors, and shapes, and to integrate the traditional calligraphy art structures, principles, and historic meanings in a digital way.


Technical Information:


    These images were created with Chinese handwriting calligraphy and digital software.
