I create drawings on rice paper using ink, beginning with a hand-drawn, imperfect grid that establishes a subtle rhythm across the surface. Within this grid, I explore intuitive yet structured geometries, balancing the tension between order and organic variation. My practice is guided by a fascination with the beauty of imperfection—a quality that emerges from the human hand and cannot be fully replicated by digital precision.
My work is influenced by ancient ruins, where patterns of decay and erosion reveal a deeper harmony; by Native American textiles, whose handwoven structures carry both mathematical rigor and tactile warmth; and by the concept of algorithmic iteration, which mirrors the meditative repetition of my process. Simple rectangles or more complex, irregular polygons unfold across the grid, their asymmetries creating a quiet dimensionality. This approach allows me to find resonance between tradition and contemporary abstraction, weaving together intuition, structure, and the subtle presence of time.
Ultimately, my drawings exist as a conversation between human gesture and geometric logic, celebrating both the imperfections and the contemplative rhythms that emerge through attentive, hand-driven practice.
