Description
Distant Memory 32 belongs to one of Amano's later extended series, its nostalgic title suggesting a meditation on the past — perhaps memories of his childhood in Hirosaki, of the natural world of his youth, or of an earlier period in art and culture. The numbered designation (32) indicates this is a well-developed series with sustained conceptual coherence. "Distant memory" as a title suggests the prints in this series translate remembered experience — partially faded, reshaped by time — into abstract form rather than precise recollection.
