In his picture-book debut, contemporary artist Datsun Tran tells his family's story of making a new home after journeying by boat from Vietnam as refugees. In vivid ink paintings and spare, resonant text, Then and Now explores the powerful associations a sound, smell or sensation can carry. "Then" includes poverty, hunger and the sounds of warfare. "Now" includes abundance, sharing food with neighbours and celebration. Datsun Tran combines traditional and modern materials and processes to make ink paintings inspired by classical Chinese brushwork.
