Telfer Stokes and Helen Douglas, Water on the Border. Weproductions, Deuchar Mill, Scotland , 1994.
Stokes and Douglas produced this book with the assistance of schoolchildren in both Yarrow and Selkirk, Scotland, and Hangzhou, China. Six Chinese poems form the core of this collection of drawings and photographs, revealing connections between the two ostensibly different lands by finding commonality in the bodies of water found in each place. “Direct connections are established between Scotland and China by combining vigorous pen and ink drawings by school children from both countries with reflective images photographically traced from the water surfaces of Yarrow Water Scotland and West Lake, Hangzhou. In addition, six Chinese poems rendered in calligraphy are transcribed from Chinese into Scots by Brian Holton and combined with inspiration drawn from T'ai Chi and the Su Causeway, Hangzhou, to create a continuum and evoke the confluence between water and the water’s edge"–Weproductions.
