In this project, I attempted to attain an altered state while drawing. I set up experiments for myself, becoming both doctor and patient.

The experiments were:

• Mirror Drawing ~ Drawing with both hands at the same time.

• Faint Drawing ~Fainting with graphite powder on my head.

• Blind Drawing ~ Drawing while blindfolded.

• Prayer Drawing ~ Repetitive writing of the same word or phrase.

• Self-Hypnosis Drawing ~ Drawing after listening to a self-hypnosis video.

• Shock Drawing ~ Using a machine that sends different electric frequencies while drawing.

• Sleep Deprivation Drawing ~ Drawing after not sleeping for a certain period of time.

After exploring my unconscious self through these experiments, I reexamined these ideas through additional drawings.  The residues of my drawing experiments were left in my studio. My studio became a drawing.
