Notes from Japan

A short one this month as I’ve been in Japan and my head is full of inspiration and plans of all the things I want to make. What is in my head (as became clear in my last letter) is dots and lines.

Inspiration is strange. I’m not sure if you start looking for it, or if it starts finding you. Am I conjuring up dots and lines everywhere now? It’s all a bit Baader–Meinhof theory.

The sakura did not disappoint and left its delicate petals everywhere. Echoes of work I was making before I left.

At the Hakone Open-Air Museum I found this Tenugui towel, of course it had to come home with me.

I’m going to take all of these recent experiments from the print studio and make some duos - some abstract, some interior, some drypoint, some mono.

Thanks for reading :)
