Temperature and breath
For me, producing works is a natural act like breathing. I touch the material until it gets boring, and then I work on the material in one go from start to finish. Producing works to me is a means of reflecting the subjective ideas of the artist while imparting physical changes to things. The piece of cloth or paper I decorate with my hands is not merely some inorganic matter, it changes as if it were a part of my own body.
