John Buchtel aptly describes this: "The result is a quilt-like pattern of different cut papers with the text on Tenjugo a nearly invisible extraordinarily thin Japanese tissue. A fine layer of fibrous gampi holds the pieces together and gives the feeling of a much used favorite quilt" The Art of Paper p. 40.

Printed dry in black and blue on pulp painting landscape made from kozo gampi and abaca fibers. A fine copy. A beautiful except from Lopez's Arctic Dreams the pulp painting is a inspired illustrations to Lopez's sentiment: "Whatever evaluation we make of a particular stretch of land no matter how accurate or profound it finally proves inadequate. The land retains an identity of its own still deeper and more subtle than we can know. Our obligation toward it then becomes simple: to approach with an uncalculating mind with an attitude of regard. To try to sense the range and variety of its expression-its weather and colors and animals. To intend from the beginning to preserve some of the mystery within it as a king of wisdom to be experienced not questioned. And to be alert for its openings for that moment when something sacred reveals itself within the mundane and you know the land knows you are there." Fine Janus Press - Fifty Years p. 46.
