Itoshima, walking haloed in the pale glow of timber bamboo, a light steady clacking in response to breeze, emerging through dense foliage to encounter numberless temple and shrine in anonymous well tended decline. Takeo, the waters, the ancient onsen, soaking late nights, in silent company, gentle melting snow. Two months wandering Kyushu, Japan. Floating, lost, spirit like by day, without language or connection, the bright white din of overwhelming malls, a lullaby to the sleepwalk chaos of consumerism… then back to the quiet intimidation of the studio interrupted only by midnight Shinkansen. This piece: a journal to this time.
