My process so far has been to organically create pieces that illustrate my private emotions, through abstract brush strokes and illustrations. Using strong lacerations, collaging, and dry brushing, I have so far created individual miniature pieces for a series. Each piece of the embodies emotions that I experienced past, present, and hope to experience. Ultimately,I wish to further my technique to further express myself.

Words of wisdom from contemporary mixed media artist, Mark Bradford
MARK BRADFORD
Above: Grace & Measure
Excerpt from Art 21:Series 4
Because I am very fluid, i need to set up rules. I have a very organized work schedule. I work every day, a certain number of hours. I don't have creative blocks: if it's going bad, it is just a bad day and I wind my way through. I push myself to stay on task and work. I do really large-scale paintings. The one I'm working on is nine by thirty feet. And somewhere in that landscape you get lost, completely lost, inside the body of a painting. You don't know where you're going, and it's not speaking to you, but you just keep moving through it. You find a space that looks familiar, and you make your home there for a little bit. And you don't get too comfortable because you've go to charge off again.

Lee Ufan- Korean Minimal artist. An inspiration from the Shin family
(Article from Koreana by Jung Hyung-mo)
The artworks of Lee Ufan (Yi U-hwan), a prominent Korean artist who has been active mostly in Japan and Europe, are being featured in a large-scale retrospective exhibition, “Lee Ufan: Marking Infinity,” at the Guggenheim Museum in New York (June 24-September 28, 2011). The exhibition features 90 of his drawings, paintings, and sculptural works from the early 1960s through today.
“For me, artwork should make the viewers sense a higher, more distant, and larger world than they can see. It should open up a space and initiate viewers to experience a bigger world beyond their sight.”
He is an important artist and philosopher. His artworks and writings are unequaled in Minimalist and Post-Minimalist art. Being active mostly in Japan and Europe, he has hardly been introduced in the United States. The exhibition is overdue,” said Alexandra Munroe, Samsung Senior Curator of Asian Art at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, who organized the retrospective. Four years in the making, the monumental event brings the works of a truly remarkable Korean-born artist to North American audiences for the first time. This kind of enthusiasm makes it clear why the Guggenheim chose to feature Lee Ufan’s artworks.

In my artwork I attempt to make sense of the physical objects around me by breaking them down and giving them an identity. By doing this I make it understandable in the same way that I could understand and read a person. I want to be able to look at my work, and see the outline of a story, to feel for this piece of art, and to fill in the blanks with imagination. I typically do this by following down one of two paths, mirroring what i see in society. I either make my art look shiny and new,using a pop art style with defined lines and specific shapes, or with a more abstract style, using lots of browns, blacks and frantic lines to portray a state of age and despair.
The piece above was left out in the snow for the weekend and then stained with coffee.

I am inspired by geometrical shapes and psychedelic themes. These are just some experimental pieces of mine, working with natural flow, bright colors, 3D shapes, and geometrical patterns. at some point i will collaborate the skills i have gained from these three different pieces, as well as the ones i have yet to create.

Process pieces
I'm working now with mixed materials. Starting with a water color base and then adding tissue paper and cray pas. I'm trying to make a series with similar materials and a color scheme. I was inspired by other images of water color. The color scheme was inspired by mountains, and ice, especially glaciers.

Well as you can see this is not the classical art of drawing in painting. In fact that is one of the points I gave it during the process of creation. To say I have a plan would imply that there is one, which at the moment it is to just see what happens and focus on the process, something Hom states many times during the day. The evolution of the these works, starting with a drawing and proceeding through the wood piece to that of the deranged circle, it has been a time of "what is something that I haven't seen done" and then make it even crazier. That is one of the fun parts of the process, between the nails, the ink, and the thread, what seems like chaos is actually not. To say I am trying is to do one thing is incorrect, I feel I am trying to see the limitless boundaries of the creative human mind and it's equal.

Process pieces
My process began with inspiration from nature. More specifically, I decided to focus on the movement of vines and weeds. I started my process pieces by mimicking the free growth of vine. I am continuing to add layers using ink, pen, and paint. I prefer to work in neutral colors as my work is inspired by nature. I do not have a clear idea for the finished products of these pieces just as nature has no limits.
