The Ethnocentric Nature of Line

The Ethnocentric Nature of Line
Solo Exhibition, 2009
Irvine Valley College Art Gallery
Irvine, CA

The Ethnocentric Nature of Line questions our cultural insistence over nature. By simulating natural forms with line through a repetitive method of production, I focus my contemplation, in an attempt to discern the imbalance within ourselves and with nature.
