gallery 2 - 2008 China

Elliott’s most recent work is the result of a trip she took to China in September of 2006.  Particularly inspiring to her were the Mogao Caves at Dunhuang, an oasis on the Silk Road, and the thirty-six peaks of Huangshan (Yellow Mountain), southwest of Shanghai.


The Mogao Caves are actually shrines cut by sculptors into living rock. They contain thousands of Buddhist frescoes and statues, the product of a millenium
of devotion and inspiration. Huangshan has seemingly endless stone steps and paths that wind through rock, crag and mist, offering numerous sites for contemplation and artistic inspiration.

Elliott used rice paper reliefs to capture the beauty of these sites and her feelings for them.
