My Itinerary II

My Itinerary II belongs to the tradition of the artist's record — a private mapping of routes, stops, and encounters rendered in terms that are meaningful to the traveler alone. The series title claims personal specificity that the abstract visual field withholds from the viewer, creating a productive tension between intimacy and opacity. The collagraph surface encodes the texture of surfaces encountered: cobblestones, hotel walls, the particular grain of train seats worn smooth. Metallic leaf marks points of heightened attention — a remarkable vista, a shift in weather, a threshold crossing — without identifying them. Tamekane's French sojourn and subsequent practice across international exhibition circuits have generated a genuinely international itinerary, and this print seems to register those accumulated distances in its layered, multi-pass construction on [washi](/glossary/washi).
