the softness of the blended inks lying just within the fibers of the kozo paper. Schalk considered this emulsion as creating “a physical ‘skin’ which surrounds the image, conjuring associations of the protective nature of human skin, as well as its fragility. As with all of our next frontier experiences, opposites like protection and fragility create the tension that leads to the creation or recognition of authenticity. Andy Warhol is another artist one might not think to find in an art exhibit examining East Meets West but his irreverent use of cultural icons has transcended hemispheric boundaries and began the movement toward the next frontier experiences in concordance with viewing art. Warhol’s Chanel No 5 Red/Pink comes from Warhol’s "Ads" series and underlines his belief that artists and businessmen have “much in common and can contribute the more to society as they come to complement their talents” is a next frontier type statement which begins the unraveling of the pasat frontier so that the next frontier can be experienced. Zixin Zhang’s Flesh and Spirit was chosen as the first piece a visitor would see upon entering East Meets West because of the innocent energy it contained in “the idea of harmony with nature” which “underlies many aspects of Chinese tradition”. Zhang attributes her style to a of which that influence “forceful calligraphy” which creates an “unconventional grace of its own.” The colors and movement in Flesh and Spirit were enjoyable and created a nice threshold frontier experience.
