An ink slab is not just an artifact to rub down an ink stick and make some sumi or black ink; it is for calming the mind while making sumi, a place to confront the self. For me the ink slab is "a receptacle of the spirit" and in its functional simplicity I found the possibility of an artistic expression suitable for today's society. I am pursuing the creation of contemporary sculpture in this simple "form or shape" in which natural materials are allowed to express themselves.
