Moving Drawing Project

Drawing is a breathing, tactile, and sensory experience. Moving Drawing is an interdisciplinary project that connects the experience of drawing, video, and sound editing to create meaningful expressions. In my room, I held my cell phone using my left hand to record the movement and sound of my mark-making on paper to capture less controlled and unpredictable camera movement against the incidental sounds outdoors while listening to music/talks. I edited the fragments of the drawings that were in progress into multi-layered auditory and visual constructs comprising, i.e., movement of the lines, the sound of pencils, how hand moves across the paper and erasing, the outdoor noises, ambient sounds like room noises and music, little bugs crawling on the drawing paper, birds flying, sunlights and shadow, and color. I explore new meanings across temporal, spatial, sonic, psychological, cultural, and social dimensions while translating from one medium to another. These videos are portrayed as separate entities that coexist and interrelate with their source drawings. This deliberate pairing invites viewers to contemplate the connotations of interconnectedness, our discernment of authenticity and originality, and the complexity of "truth" in this divisive, violent, and chaotic world. How media technologies alter perceptions and influence our interpretations of information, and whether what is presented digitally accurately reflects reality or is constructed and manipulated.
