Daily Drawing (2004-ongoing)

In 2004, I learned about Mandala art therapy. By drawing an image into one circle each day, one may ease my depression. I did this each day since then. During 2010, I drew while listening to Gregorian Chant. The drawings were hung in an oval shaped exhibition space, with curved walls. Four different versions of Stabat Mater music played from 4 speakers and mixed in the gallery space with a total of 176 drawings.

매일 드로잉 (2004-현재 진행 중)

2004년에 나는 하루에 원 하나씩을 그리면서 정신적 문제들을 완화시킬 수 있다는 만다라 미술 치료에 대해 듣게 되었다. 그리고 그 때부터 매일 이를 실행하기 시작했다. 그레고리안 성가를 들으며 제작한 2010년 작품들은 곡선의 벽으로 이루어진 타원형 공간에서 전시되었으며, 4가지 버전의 성모 애상곡(스타바트 마테르)이 4개의 스피커를 통해 동시에 흘러 나오는 가운데 총 176점의 드로잉이 선보였다
