Annesta Le established a drawing routine and created a pictorial practice that intersects with her more known and vibrant neon work. Whether sculpting, painting, or drawing, she uses her hands and approaches each piece in an open-ended, improvisational way until arriving at the final composition - a work reflecting her own internal image. The process of making neon is physical and demanding. Le’s drawing practice offers a restorative break from the glass studio, using the looseness of her hands to draw and be free. These formal works are explorations in line, shape, and color, which find their reprieve in Le’s paintings and glassworks.
