Notes | In April 2014, I saw a series of woodcut prints by Paul Gauguin at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and was struck by his practice of making multiple prints of the same woodcut, using a different color for each print. With this impression in mind, I began to write “Koto, Piano” – three short, very similar pieces, yet each with its own clear identity. [Na] |
