that which makes a piece of flesh alive and
breath, and dance, and create poetry -- this
is the ultimate ever changing constant.
Usually, slow objects get more details in my
drawings, and really fast movement has an
equivalently fast arabesque gesture record.
Drawing, dance, as well as music becomes
very addictive -- a unique drag that
alternates speeds from super fast to
incredibly slow including everything in
between.
I keep sketchbooks that help me to record
events and ideas and share them with
someone else. It can be a container for
curiosity, banking undeveloped ideas to
percolate into something later.
I believe in everyday practice: artists and
designers are laborers, and making is not
about the end product -- it is about the
process. Chuck Close said: "Inspiration is for
amateurs. The rest of us show up and get to
work."
There are millions ways to define time, and
anything from the mountain formation and
rings on a tree trunk, graynes or length of
hair, drumming, breathing, poetry, clocks
and factory punch cards, cherry blossoms,
as well as cherries, drugs and meditation,
yoga, and human life itself -- all is an
attempt to capture the passage of
moments.
