About my artwork
My abstract work is an attempt to depict pictorial spaces observed in the work of Picasso and Klee, and in traditional Chinese ink brush paintings, but without referencing the same subject matters.

My method of drawing is inspired by logographic writing system, through which I have come to see writing to be a form of drawing, and have taken on the approach of treating drawing as a form of writing.

How each drawing comes into being, and what each could become, is a study of the Buddhist concept of Emptiness.

My black and white abstract line drawings are Free Cultural Works. They can be freely studied, applied, copied and/or modified, by anyone, for any purpose. They are available for download from my online gallery site.

Dislocution’ is a term, coined by James Joyce and adopted by cultural critic and curator Sarat Maharaj, that describes the double disruption of place and speech that is a condition of the displaced, or those in exile. These groups, including exiles, refugees, immigrants and expatriates, must find alternatives to their native forms of expression which no longer serve them in new and different cultures. The analogy of speech is useful – particularly the concept of cultural translation – for exploring the interconnections that are made upon the meeting of cultures, the transposition of cultural values, and the new hybrid forms of artistic expression that arise. In his 1984 essay ‘Reflections of Exile’ Edward Said opposed exile to nationalism – ‘opposites informing and constituting each other’. Those dislocated from their place of origin must negotiate the tension between loss and invention, absence and the need to inscribe their presence on another culture. This has wider implications, for the dominant culture is itself involved in the process – even altered by it – and the assumption that national cultures represent an ‘isomorphism of space, place and culture’ is challenged. The history of nations, like Great Britain, demonstrates that a plurality of cultures has contributed and still contributes to their making. This strand will explore the different types of displacement and the forms of artistic expression to which the experience of ‘dislocution’ has given rise across time and in a variety of media."

Thank you for your comments! There will be more videos and I'll make sure to let you know when the next one comes out. It's going to be about the American Pavilion of the Venice Architectural Biennial.
I love your drawings!
