Taiwan: Stone and Wood Carvings


I am now spending a few days visiting with friends, drinking tea and meditating at the Tea Sage Hut, after a wonderful two weeks of traveling to tea farms in Taiwan.  Today we visited the town of San Yi which is known for its wood carvings. Lots of beautiful, large-scale works of art in not only wood but also stone and metal.  The textures, contrast and expressions drew me to these images.

  2. I always love how natural textures and shapes draw me in. Usually it's textiles that I think of when I think of texture-love, but any natural material really works for this. Wood, stone, and fiber all work well in creating interest and depth.
