Using Chinese characters together with letters from the Western alphabet, the artist tightly enmeshes his words within the composition, their forms arising from the contours and patterns of the very landscape. According to Shi Lu's inscriptions, the inspiration for each leaf in this fabulous album is wide-ranging, from Song and Ming dynasty painting, to Chinese literature, to the artist's travels in Tibet, Egypt, Asia and North America.
