Breath Artist-In-Residence Chongqing

I stopped making my own Chinese characters because they felt too contrived. I had a lot of ideas and needed to start to focus. The first image shows at a key stage in the development of my work using words. I wrote stop and then it felt like I had already started something. Writing stop felt like a kind of release. Since I had stopped I could start. These words of non action and action began to shape this work in a series of drawings.
