“Sumi-e (East Asian ink wash painting) … Meditation and planning are essential. It is impossible to correct the line once on paper. My hand betrays my inner state, requiring a balance of self-control and spontaneity. I distill my subject’s essence in my mind while grinding the ink. Every brush-touch must be full-charged with meaning, with useless detail eliminated. When I paint a flower I am freed from reproduction and inspired to convey its movement and fragrance.
My intent is to let each mark of my brush meet the canvas as an extension of my state of mind. I am working inward as I paint outward.”
