Small Offerings is a conceptual derivation of the Mandarin characters which make up the word “trace,” 微量 (liang), “Wei” means “a thing so small it is almost not there” and can be used in conjunction with almost any other word to render it a shadow of its former self. “Liang”is a “unit of measure” for objects as well as the abstract, but not for people or animate things. These paintings are what remain of a past situation, object or idea, like an afterimage or a trace.
