Back in 2020, when Hong Kong was opening up after Covid, I started out on a very different ink painting. This was not traditional landscape but a thematic rendering of a remembered experience.

The Windmills of your Mind was based on memories I have from 15 years ago visiting the IM Pei, Miho Museum in Japan.

The approach to the Museum is dramatic. The visitor walks into a darkened tunnel, cut through the surrounding mountains and emerges to see the amazing Miho Museum.

This made a very strong impression on me and in 2020 I turned this into an ink painting on rice paper featuring collage showing visitors emerging into the bright sunlight to enter the Museum podium, rather like the aftermath of Covid.

The impact of this experience set the mind racing and The Windmills of your Mind taken from the lyrics of the popular song, seemed appropriate to the times.

This painting lay in my  studio, uncompleted until 2024. Today  the theme and the message remains fresh in my mind; down a dark tunnel into the blazing sunlight of a life experience.

回顧2020年,香港疫情年代的創作，時代反射重组塑集生命過程的憂傷作品交代沉痛回憶錄。

《Windmills of Your Mind 追懷》追索於15年前舊時思路，當我們参觀貝聿銘設計的日本美秀美術館。路徑通往美術館的隧道彎角盡頭，天光乍泄處突然浮現的經典驚世建築物，那樣悸動此情此景環繞在我的腦海中。

日積月累衝動激盪促使我，奔放地使用水墨與拼貼對比兩個不同心靈修復，漫長地太陽辰光也亮起來了，照光耀着光明廣泛大地。
