In her bold and intuitive multimedia works, Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann blends the watery flow of traditional Chinese sumi ink drawings with fierce explosions of color. Tzu-Lan Mann layers collage, acrylic painting, drawing, and cyanotype atop the map of the ink, creating bright, energetic bursts of color and texture. The result is an almost magical palimpsest of unbridled motion in color and composition, guided by a confident and refined hand.
