this is the second panel of the poem Quiet night by Li Po ( altogether 4 panels ), done in three layers, with the first layer in Chinese ideograms: DREAMING OF THE PLATEAU, then layered with a light canvas with the Italian translation of the second line of the poem: FOR A MOMENT, MISTOOK IT FOR FROZEN FROST, the third layer is the one shown on top, where one sees and sees not the underneath layers- this panel was donated to Villa Romana, Florence, Italy after my residency there as an artist in March 2000
