When I travel, I keep a book for each trip, making drawings and notes in my search for the essence of the experience. So I have done in Bali.

Bali has continued to fascinate me. At the moment (2004-5) the entrances to the temples are particularly important visually to me, as is Kayanon, the leaf-like shape in the shadow puppet show. I noticed that if Kayanon is split down the middle it becomes an entrance, temple-like with all its Balinese associations which include the holy mountain, all of nature, and the entrance to “home”.
