In 1978, Gummer traveled throughout Asia with funding provided by grants through the National Endowment for the Arts and The Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation. During his time in Nara, Japan, Gummer became influenced by Japanese architecture and decoration, in particular the structure of traditional folding screens and patterning of Tatami floor mats. After being injured in a motorcycle accident, Gummer was briefly hospitalized at Lanna Hospital in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where he drew the initial sketches for Nara and Lanna. This relief was assembled shortly after Gummer’s return to New York later that year.
