Chapter I describes how my works are grounded in a Chinese point of view, based on sociological and anthropological approaches as defined in my work. The questions in my Statement of Problem deal with how I use "imbalance" in my works, yet still find a way to make acceptable compositions to better tell my stories. I relate how my work constitutes a positive act or event in an evolving world culture. Chapter II discusses the work I focused around the questions posed in Chapter I. Chapter III expresses my conclusion about my work and my goals for the future.

The problem with which this comparative investigation is concerned is the application of a photographically derived image to glass. The image used originated from an ordinary thirty-five-millimeter color slide. This slide, through photographic darkroom manipulation, was translated into thirty individually different, black and white films of four-by-five-inch size. Selected films were then enlarged onto eleven-by-fourteen-inch, Kodalith film. These enlarged films were contact exposed to Ulano's Blue Poly-3, a presensitized silkscreen photofilm. This in turn was adhered to twelve double X silk which was tautly stretched in a wooden frame.

Each of my oil or pastel paintings is an observation of seemingly mundane familiar places that I encounter day-to-day. I think of my art as a kind of visual journalism, where I examine common human emotions evoked by a careful consideration of the substance of light interacting with spaces or objects. The naturalistically rendered compositions are cropped and depicted in small fragments, allowing the viewer a brief glimpse into a quiet portrayal of the world. Essentially, my art allows me to share my sensibilities and to connect with others through portraits of ordinary, yet intimate, moments in time.
