People Places and Sumi Ink,
Space Ograya, Yanaka, Tokyo, October 1994. I
discovered Japanese classical sumi ink on washi paper the
way Columbus discovered America. Of course it was
already there when I arrived. And I was not the
first to find it. But it was new to me. It
was fresh and alive with possibilities. This was my
second exhibition of ink painting in Japan and it was so
very much fun to paint my neighborhood and my neighbors
with the new materials I had discovered.
