I love working on large ink drawings on the wall - there is so much movement, it really is a dance between the ink and surface and myself. It’s so alive when it’s wet and moving, it’s exhilarating. Ink is elemental, like clay - it allows for a manifestation of energy in pared down and ancient forms that remain relevant and infinite.
