Though there is a certain preciousness in process in my work, the final product is seldom at the forefront of my concerns. The temporary act of drawing is infinitely more fascinating and gratifying.

I find this video particularly interesting because it refers to a live performance. It is always fascinating to witness artistic creation, especially when you cannot go back and make "corrections". The previous comment mentions that your drawing was stolen from the event, which makes it even more interesting, because you are left only with that very act of creation (caught on film), not the created object. Much like a jazz concert, where the improvised music is usually not recorded and survives only in the minds of those experiencing it. This reminds me of the liner notes of the album "Kind of Blue", where pianist Bill Evans makes an analogy between jazz and traditional Japanese painting with black ink. Which brings me back to the graceful black lines in your work - thanks for producing such beauty! Sougwen, I discovered your work through your last.fm page and I truly enjoy it.

You were definitely one of the memorable ones from the night... probably one of the reasons your piece was stolen from the event! Don't really know what to say about that one. Ha. Kinda pissed, but I guess it's a mad compliment too. Nice one Sougwen. You were definitely one of the memorable ones from the night… probably one of the reasons your piece was stolen from the event!
