Transmission: Life Language
My practice called Transmission is symmetrical drawing line, which has glyphs and expressions: It evolves and forms its language over time.
The process of drawing with both hands at once causes communication between the right and left hemispheres of my brain. I focus, in the moment of drawing, on a speaking language in varying abstract patterns using improvisation. The line has a quality of a vibrational signature which serves in exploring universal symbology and pattern.
In 2015, I created an easel method of this process, attaching a motor which pulled a scroll from one spool to another, creating a running drawing track on which a single line was maintained for a performance of 30 - 40 minutes, depending on the length of the substrate roll. The performances served to dialogue between musical sonic expression, and my time based artistic scrolling.
