为了寻找新的绘画语言和感受，我曾多次到西部藏地，历经青海的黄河源头、长江源头、柴达木、西藏的阿里、珠峰、那曲、甘南的玛曲、碌曲、夏河……使我有了和藏地藏人近距离接触的机缘。藏地大自然的纯净博大，苍茫;藏人的真切挚热，刚悍和淳朴，给我以震撼。在当今缤纷物化的时代里，藏地藏人那种本源状态给人带来了生命的感悟和灵魂的洗刷。那是一个能使人魂断的神秘境地。我企图走得更近，可它永远在远方，这远方包含着变化、失去与永恒……这也像人生，总是在企图超越与无法超越的过程中。
藏地留下的近万张照片，已成为我生命中不可磨灭的记忆。随着岁月流失，我仍被这些记忆所感动，开始探索用版画语言再现那注满灵动与激情的画面……。创作中我如同那世代用不息生命将佛像与经文雕刻在石头上、印制在经幡上的藏人，怀着虔诚的心，把这不灭的记忆不断的迹化，以表达我对藏地藏人的深深敬仰和感动……。
