Live Transmission/Performative Drawing

In 1989, I began the practice of the Japanese martial art, aikido. In the martial arts, one trains using both sides of the body, and slowly, through practice, asymmetries and imbalances sort themselves into better balance. Consequently, the left and right hemispheres of the brain also become better coordinated. After a while, it felt awkward and off-center for me to be drawing with only my right hand, so I took up another pencil and since then have been drawing with both hands. Gradually over time I have become almost ambidextrous through this practice, and I often draw with up to twenty pencils simultaneously, moving each pencil independently. The number of pencils I use is determined by the subject of the inquiry.
