My art is a lot about line - mostly a loose gestural sort of calligraphic line.
My interest in Japanese and Chinese calligraphy goes way back. I also have always been attracted to paintings with asemic writing especially Cy Twobly. Asemic writing is illegible writing or writing-like-drawing with no meaning, in other words an abstract form of writing. Each individual has a handwriting that is uniquely theirs, which is why we consider a person’s signature to be proof of their identity.
