I have a long interest in the research into and information of the visual arts and related historical development of China, India, Indonesia, South East Asian countries and all associated developmental national histories in the region. I am the author of “Ships of the Silk Road – The Bactrian Camel in Chinese Jade”, Bloomsbury Publishing 2019. and of “Celestial Beings – a study of the development of human flight through the Flying Apsara, the Kinnara, the Garuda and anthropomorphic avian hat ornaments – all in Chinese jade” – forthcoming publication in 2020.
