I looked while I listened -- at the bottom of his home page there is a special section of photos entitled "Houses for Nomads" and with a sub-division of photos taken during his visit to Tibet.  Viewing those photos of Tibet after having viewed his tapestries made a really big difference to me -- they added tremendous depth to his tapestries.  They deserve a place in the exhibition as well, beside the tapestries;  they are really part of the artistic process, as well as being a great example of where to look for inspiration and how to translate it into a finished work...  It makes me wonder, how is your tapestry coming along for your COE, Syne?????
