The Japanese artist, Hiraku Suzuki’s work in drawing focuses on the medium’s ability to fluidly move between image and language. Since my early days as a philosopher (with a focus on language) and a poet in college, I have also been interested in the relationships between the visual and the textual. Hiraku works in many ways including: works on paper, wall drawings, video and performance. For me personally, it is his large-scale installations and video projections that hold the most promise – I like the idea of thinking about the way drawing, language and symbols can affect the body.
