Slide #28 / 2000, “Ascending the South Heavenly Gate”
Ink on paper, 18″x13 1/2″

This is the first piece of a series of four, created in empathy with Carl Jung’s concept of unus mundus. Knowing that numbers are in the same continuum as our minds and souls, “Mount Tai” follows the spirit of the Chinese scholars’ fantasies in its own, algorithmic way. The most venerated of the five sacred Chinese Mountains, Mount Tai in Shandong, is the location of four scenes.
