Day Fourteen Drawing

I log the quantity of time in the drawing. Life is sustained only for a limited period of time. My interest is to record this kind of time, life-ridden but limited. In a daily life, time is segmented. Each segmentation has a different length. What I do, what I think, and what I feel are replaced with the empty-minded length of marks, in the same way as the landscapes are transformed to repeated pencil lines in the Agnes Martin’s drawings. I begin with a dot, and repeat dots. A dot, drawn with dark graphite or oil paint, marks a ‘moment’ on the paper. By repeating dots, the moments grow into an ‘occasion.’ The occasion, accumulation of moments, is finally reborn as a metaphorical entity. The impulse for tracing, recording, and marking moments is inescapable. So I draw.”
