Dragon Iris, April 2024, ink on xuan paper
Location: NYC studio
I move with the ink as it flows through my body. The ink bypasses my thinking mind as I walk across reams of rice paper. Ancestral landscapes, visions, memories that are not mine but want to be seen pass through my womb, drip from the brush, yearning to be born on paper.
