The five pieces of artwork I prepared for this show, Sync, orbit around the theme of abstract rhythm systems, where the pictures show lines and dots creating a field of intersections. The two oil paintings, Landscape and On A Thread, describe a sensation of seeing recognizable realms deteriorate into vaporous abstractions. The linoleum print on paper caries on the theme of simplification in black and white with three types of marks. The lamp artworks draw attention to the ability of sight because the light bulbs drive the viewing experience. Therefore, they all work on different mediums yet connect thematically around pattern making.

The rice paper artworks are layered 2-4 sheets in certain areas to add tone; when combined with cut paper, light passes through from behind creating highlights in the picture. This subtractive and additive approach shows how drawings can benefit from both surface light and back light to describe a novel pictorial space. When the papers are flattened with glass and acrylic sheets, the detailed cuts and marks on paper become clear. The unexpected, layered drawings create new drawings, which makes the drawing and assembly process experimental. However, producing drawings, each made with a sense of rhythm, will work together as a larger unit in a collage format.

Each of the artworks are formally composed of abstract patterns with momentary representations in some areas. Hence, these artworks have a sense of wading in an out of clarity and ambiguity of the empirical world and an unseen world. The stippling marks are condensed and spaced to suggest musical arrangements and space. Imagination and intuition help decide where to draw contour lines and to add emphasis - to flatten and abstract a section or create a sense of volume through compressing lines. Like a gardener shaping walkways, my drawings are for the eyes to graze, meander, or dance through.
