As Miserable as a Piece of Lasagna

Web-based algorithmic translation programs take language out of context, stripping it of interpersonal significance. Language in this form becomes pared down, coded, and basic -- like the marks in my drawings. Piece by piece, this drawing is built from simple marks or everyday objects, exploring language and my own mistakes therein. I employ images of the 1999 Taiwan earthquake, coupled with government texts describing the quake as titles of works, to direct viewers to the language of my media and the abstraction of structural failures through markings -- and interruptions.
