**Pen and Ink Drawings

Humpty-Dumpty II, The Man and The Machine by Mirena Rhee

My latest Pen and ink drawing on paper, a variation on my earlier Humpty-Dumpty, man and me vs the machine, or with, the machine. Actually not vs, but rather WITH the Machine. I have always felt half digital and cyborg being, being always attached to my machine, my machine makes me better because I have very bad memory so my mac book pro serves as my memory and my partner in my work.

Wanted to share with you these amazing detailed photos of Tree of Life by mirena

One of the most amazing things that happen when drawing is that there is this incredible surge of adrenaline, The Surge of adrenaline cannot be compared to any other activity, it's the high of a process. The reason drawing is special to me is because it's a very personal way of working you keep very close to the surface there is no distance whatsoever, the surface and you constantly exchange DNA due to the proximity. The fact that there is a lot of detail requires constant presence so there is no really coasting when making a drawing. I really like the  very personal way of working when I draw, in this manner without many words or any other Grand things I show my love for the world and  at the same time I protect myself from the world by building a perfect world, a world without blemish or strife, an eternal life.

Giant hands in Beacon - many thanks to all the creatures involved by mirena

Giant Hands in Beacon - installation .

I wanted to thank nature for allowing me to do this, because it could have been much more difficult for me - I have a phobia of bugs, insects etc so any sort flying things like bees, wasps, bats ( other than mosquitoes ) would have sent me off. Also wanted to thank the local police and the local bullies for only showing up one time.

. Giant Hands in Beacon - it is getting dark, a bit more loud and the hands are slowly turning. As evening approaches in Beacon - i have to fold everything up before it gets dark, and all the hooting starts.
