"A spiritual journey that connects Monica Cheon's experiences of myth, vision, and the natural world. Literal and metaphorical edges are the basis of her work, as she looks for the opening of the veil between space and time. Her luminous photographs are lyrical and poetic. She creates passionate, soulful art that is authentic and inspired. What begins as a personal journey for the artist becomes a universal experience for her viewer. It's as if she's unleashing the human imagination to envision a primordial landscape before recorded time" (Jean Caslin). The "veil between space and time" = The Mask. "Unmasked", that is, released and re-vitalized, by Monica Cheon's artistic transmutation of a great people's ancient history. An absolute "must-have" title for Monica Cheon collectors.
