My most recent work explores more graphic line drawings that are inspired by various forms of script – Islamic calligraphy, graffiti, and Korean cloud motifs. While these references originate from different cultures, my attraction to this imagery is more formal. There is something lyrical about these marks that I find curiously similar to the way I conceive, originate, and develop my forms, all of which occurs through the act of drawing. I am intrigued by re-introducing drawing at the end of my process and creating another voice in the conversation between form and function.
