My name is Akira Horikawa, born in Japan, live and work in NY. For past four years, I have been continuing a project called “1000 Drawing Project.” In pocket size sketchbooks, I draw and reinterpret images that come into my mind, happenings, dreams, and emotion at the time. Through the drawings, I try to find a fundamental story or subconscious sequence in the images and re-evaluate values and cognition that I have experienced in my life. My goal for the project is having my language through the activity to communicate and welcome the nonsense with awe.
Currently, there are about 60 pages left to reach 1000. The lists of first 10 images are the most recent 10 pieces and the rest of 10 pieces are random picks from past 4 years.
