While pursuing my BFA,I was introduced to On Kawara’s work. I found One Million Years the most compelling of his concept pieces. Physically documenting 1,000,000 by typing it out and binding a volume of books blew up my brain. I felt the weight of the whole of existence and the lightness that is my own personal insignificance within it. He has been a major influence in my work and philosophy since. My primary process involves choosing a framework of rules to work within and repeating the action until completion. My medium of choice is ink pens and paper. Like ink, choices and actions in life cannot be undone or disappeared. Applied to drawing, each mark informs the next. While there is an overarching plan and set of rules in place such as type of mark, how negative space will be handled and a general outline of shape, the details and “errors” are not decided or expected beforehand. If I am unhappy with a mark, I work with what is there and get on with it. The error usually melts into the completed image after more time is applied so what remains is a small scar or blemish. Often, the completed drawings resemble natural forms and I push and pull images, (usually faces and figures) from the mass of lines or dots. Making these drawings is a record of moving through time. The challenge of my work is usually maintaining persistence through monotony. Not unlike daily life can often feel. Art of repetition, documenting the mundane beauty of life and quietly saying “I am still alive.” I Went and I Met -On Kawara
