The Narcissistic Prima donna (title of my show series back in he 80's) is still live and self-absorbed in Japan. There are many subtle differences in the work, though perhaps consistent with my generation of receding hairlines. There is a brutal awareness and a clinging to the possibility of relevance. Our observations are perhaps worth something, this hope that wisdom is real and we are capable of it.
