excerpt
But, at
the time this happened, it really affected me. And, given all my experiences
of the place, it had significance far greater in that moment than it did as
time passed. But, all of this affected me profoundly. The time came for me
to leave. I wanted to go, and I did not want to go. I thought, “I could live
here”. But there were other parts of me that wanted so much more. Now, I
was equipped with vast knowledge of something and I wondered how many
people had actually experienced something like this – and as an artist, I had
subject matter that was absolutely stunning. And so, I decided that I would
leave. And the only time I saw emotions out in the open there was when I
left. And whatever happened there never stopped. It has gone on, and on,
and on, in my soul – and it seems to have fortified this madness for the Arctic
and the Arctic people.
