Six Wise Men Went To Jhaampe Town

"Six wise men went to Jhaampe-town
To climb a hill and never come down
Found their flesh and shed their skins
Flew away on stony wings"
- Robin Hobb


I have decided to name the piece "Jhaampe", after the capital city of the Mountain Kingdom in the Realm of the Elderlings novels by Robin Hobb. With Jessie Cammack's suggestion, I realized that this image fit perfectly with the Tibetan associations I'd already made with the life and peoples of the Mountain Kingdom. I found this quote today, and realized how perfectly its imagery suits my own.

I hope to continue to work with Hobb's books as inspiration.
