JAPONISM at The Nippon Gallery.
It’s strange when someone hones in on a particular influence in your body of work that you’ve consciously or unconsciously imbibed. Whether you’ve felt profoundly moved by some specific cultural element at some point in your life, or, sandspur-like, it’s attached to your rump in the wilderness and you only noticed it when you thought that you’d picked it off – something that …
