For me, drawing is a way to integrate my whole person, the unconscious, the felt and the rational, the desire to organize and the impulse to improvise. It functions as an intermediary moment between the idea and the reality, between the emotion and the response (T.S.Eliot, The Hollow Man). In this sense, drawing is a membrane through which outside(what is other) flows in and inside (what is personal) flows out. My drawings, therefore, embody fluctuating and contradictory states of understanding, feeling, and/or being.
