I started this mixed-media drawing project in 2006. For years, I focused on coffee as the selected material in my drawings. As a coffee lover, I was drawn to its burnt umber color, texture, aroma, and the way it flowed on paper. After 14 years of using it in my drawings, I decided to transition away from depending on coffee, which I finally did in 2020. The lines in my drawings are inspired by the entangled branches of winter trees and by Chinese calligraphy. Improvisational music and artists such as John Cage, Cy Twombly, Christopher Wool, and Julie Mehretu continue to stimulate and broaden my understanding of the arts. I strive for lines that appear organic and fluid. My color palette is predominantly burnt umber, red (or magenta), and yellow, referencing human connections, earth and land, violence and wounds, and duality and complexity. With each piece, I find structure by improvising uncertain lines, discovering shapes and forms from the flow of color inks. I work through all the uncertainties, where accidents, imperfections, glitches, and erasures are integral parts of the process. Consciousness gives way to my intuition and feelings, which often unveil remarkable insights and surprises. Each drawing begins with indeterminacy and imperfections until a perpetual balance and interconnectedness are attained. Another aspect of my work is Moving Drawing, an interrelated project combining abstract drawing, video, and sound in new contexts. https://saracysun.com/movingdrawing
