This one started out with a couple of photos and a shopping list which got smeared with moisture. one of the names we use for art in Japan is bijutsu which translates to something like beauty technique. I never liked this term as it implies that it has to be beautiful. I like Art better as that simply means human made. Even though I don't necessary pursue beauty per se, I found the accidentally smeared ink memo beautiful and felt compelled to use it in this piece.
