While traveling in Norway, a journal in which I recorded impressions, some on site, some from memory.
In Bergen in the kitchen of the former Leper Hospital, now museum, there were
boxes of books from the, now closed, Lister Sanatorium—free for the taking.
I selected one with an intriguing cover—repetitions of cell like forms. Later I found out it was a print by Paul Gauguin. I could not read a word of the Norwegian text but the printed page became a ground for a palimpsest.
