The Innocent Eye

This part of the exhibit combines original calligraphy with digitally manipulated versions as seen by Marcia Donahue, an artist who does not read Chinese or Japanese script. Rather than treating the scroll as text, she sees it as shapes, creating images that grow out of the forms. Donahue’s creations were then digitally colored and printed as a classic hanging scroll by Liza Dalby.
