Kunstart: Zeichnung
Technik: Tusche
Stil: Minimal / Konzeptkunst
Statement:
Tasting salty teardrops is to me as seeing a diamond-embedded frog resting on a dried tree branch. Viewing a tense expression in a mirror is to me as seeing countless silkworms contorting their bodies. A touch of happiness or sorrow is to me like a strong liquor throwing off its scent. The power of love and death is to me like a red ivy climbing off a plaster vase decorated with roses....
Images of imagination are not remote from that of actual vision. What is remote is the our expression in language from precision and perfection, an ideal which I do not possess. So I have chosen simple tools to record my immediate sensations. Doing so I try to discover what lies within that might be more real and true.
