Diary: Feb. 23rd '02, in London

A winter Diary entry made during a stay in London, this 2002 screenprint documents Noda's experience as a visitor to the British capital. Late February in London means short days, grey skies, and the particular damp cold of an English winter — a stark contrast to the Japanese scenes that dominate the Diary series. Noda chose pure screenprint technique for this piece, well suited to capturing the flat, overcast light of a London February. The inclusion of the city name in the title transforms the print into a travel document, one node in a global network of dated observations stretching from Tokyo to Boston to London to Israel.
