Drawing by Your 12 Words

말이 손이 되다

Now, You지금, 당신

Before drawing a portrait, I record the sitter speaking twelve words that matter to them, either separately or as a statement. As I draw across twelve strings embedded in the paper, the program plays their recorded words.

Drawing is analog; sound generation is digital. Together, image and voice form a multidimensional portrait of a person in the present moment. The performance focuses on the answers to Tolstoy’s questions: now, you, and what I am doing now.
