Kōbō Daishi & Cadwgan

One of the first layers on the panel I wrote a text,
that essentially addresses why I create something,
and how I am devided between the Earthly and the Infinite.

After that, layers of paint were applied and I calligraphed words.
The texts were sometimes pre-selected, but
just as often, they came “by chance.”
