My Art
I'm a (choreo)-graphic artist who creates choreographic, diary-like, and (a)-semic notes on paper, canvas, walls, floors, and other surfaces. I collaborate with surroundings using tools and materials—dancing/writing/drawing/ painting/sculpting with words, movements, colors, twigs, pens, pastels, oil, and graphite.
To (choreo)-graph/draw/dance/write means to play with line, movement, and thinking. This bond of dance, visual art, and text (visual and oral) is present in my way of dance-making since the 90s. It is rooted in interdisciplinary multimedia collaborations and inspired by the understanding of the art of dance as a sharing, thinking, and living process.
In this gallery, I share my temporal sculptures and installations. Touch and sounds of touch are primal curiosities at the moment. I'm observing, sensing, and listening to the relation between materials, co-creators, and audience while existing between art-making and writing about art—the space of my art studio.
Drawing on paper A4
a/semic notes mix technique - pastel, oil pastel, graphite, and markers on crumpled paper A4
This project relies on touch, listening, and sensuous presence in the creative process. I'm creating piles of crumpled drawings of a/semic notes. #everydayArt #sublime #commitment #drawing #piles #unites #asemic #writing #body #quality #quantity
My Practice (as Research)
My practice operates at the intersection of dance, performance-installation, and diary-like embodied research. Through asemic and eco-asemic experiments, I work with movement, materials, sound, and duration to explore how sense emerges relationally, prior to language and fixed meaning.
Living Open Diary is an ongoing choreographic research practice that treats the body as a site of writing and sensing. Through improvisation, material engagement, and diary-like scores, the work generates temporary constellations of movement, trace, and presence that remain open, unstable, and shared.
Gray Box Art Studio functioned as a laboratory for eco-asemic, performance-installation research. Working within a visual-art studio rather than a black-box theater, I developed living diaries through movement, drawing, accumulation, and erasure, expanding choreography to include materials, surfaces, and witnesses.
