Cindy Shih utilizes techniques from brush painting, Italian fresco, and Chinese calligraphy to discuss gender, power, and race. She begins with thin, burnished layers of Venetian plaster to texturize the composition, then mixes Sumi ink and pigments that settle in the cracks. In this way, both traditions of western-style fresco and Chinese landscape painting work in tandem to guide the direction of each piece.
