In contrast to traditional pencil and paper contact techniques, where the artists’ motions are limited to hand and arm movements. I create drawings independent of my own hand, using my breath to propel the ink to introduce a wide range of lines and shapes into my drawings. A whole life is manifested in a single breath. Each line in my drawings is formed by one single breath, making visible the essence of life force. My breath becomes a medium of recording life as such. The resulting drawings offer shapes and lines that no human hand could achieve. I want to push the medium of drawing to new extremes, questioning the definition of drawing today.
