Catalogue Note
Artist's inscription:
Men ask the way through the clouds, the cloud way's dark, without a sign. High summits are of naked rock. In deep valleys sun never shines. Behind you green peaks, and in front, to east the white clouds, and to west - want to know where the cloud way lies? It's there, in the centre of the Void!
Cold Mountain poetry inscribed by the Master of the Water Pine and Stone Retreat playing games taught to me many years ago by my old friend National Pine and fermenting in my heart ever since.
