Description
The work of Ed Pien surrounds us and compels our engagement with images that seem born of dreams, both of personal and of cultural sources and traditions of Chinese and European. The effect resembles dreams wherein the experiences can be fearful and insightful in combinations capable of particular and universal significance together. In a Realm of Others brings us into a place of open inquiry into fear and the experience of vulnerability that rises from an acute sense of otherness. He has created a new mythology that invites wonder along with new ways of understanding "others", even as their meanings remain elusive and somewhat beyond us.
