About this piece, Terri says: “Visually, this piece references the memories of beauty, mystery and nobility that I had after an intensive, art related trip to China. I was part of an artist group from Cincinnati that collaboratively made and exhibited a series of drawings with a group of Chinese artists. The connections that I felt with the artists, the natural beauty of the land, the textiles, mythology and ancient culture were the visual inspiration for this piece. Conceptually, Under a Chinese Moon reflects a time of mourning for me because a good friend and mentor had recently passed away. That feeling of loss is symbolized by the empty dress hanging in the trees.”
