Utako Shindo, Untitled (winter sutra) (detail), sumi ink on watercolor paper folded, 1000×1000× 65mm (photo by the artist)
Untitled (from winter sutra)
And finally
Judith had won The truth is disclosed like the phases of the moon in the shaded watercolor
One drawn line and another attempt to capture that Ma space-time unforgettable
/ before dawning towards evening /
Almost two years ago
Lady on a mesa whose name has ‘light’ spoke about it seen from her room ““it’s a good mountain” Agnes used to say”
Suffused with light replacing darkness on the walls facing to each other her drawing-painting and a Tang poem-calligraphy
/ how you draw a line how drawing becomes shadow /

風清一樓月;室靜半枕書
A building and a moon, summer night with clear breeze
A quiet room, I lean against a couch, and reading a book
心同孤鶴靜;節效古松貞
My heart is the same as a quiet crane in solitude
Like an old pine tree, I maintain my faithfulness
