Artist Statement -Kevin Callaghan My work deals with East Asian aesthetics and is strongly influences by Chinese architecture and dwellings. I am using the word Transmigration to explain my own method of the transcendence of cultural limitations of both East and West. I have begun to mirror the spirit of Chinese architecture in a contemporary context.
