"DRAWING IS NOT ABOUT MAKING A STATEMENT,

BUT MAKING A CONTINUOUS CORRECTION" - DON SOUTHARD

AS A PERFECTIONIST, I'VE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE WITH MY DRAWINGS

BECAUSE I WAS NEVER SATISFIED WITH THEM.

HOWEVER, WHEN DON SOUTHARD, AN INSPIRING ARTIST AND DRAWING INSTRUCTOR OF SAIC

TOLD ME THAT DRAWING IS NOT ABOUT MAKING A STATEMENT BUT A CONTINUOUS CORRECTION,

I WAS ABLE TO FREE MYSELF FROM MY OWN IMPOSSIBLE STANDARDS.

THE "DRAWING MACHINE" IS MY FIRST ART AND TECHNOLOGY BASED PROJECT, CHALLENGING THE DEFINITION OF 'MARK-MAKING' IN ART MAKING.
