""There are some people, however, who bristle at the idea of using a machine to create art, and I understand their wariness. They might ask: Why are you using a machine to create art? Why can't you just paint those bananas or that flower yourself?""
""I can modify my illustrations in dozens of different ways before they reach my pen plotters, even down to the mark making. I can instruct the plotter to use short dashes or long dashes, small or big dots or squiggles.""
""I think it's kind of neat that plotters can produce work that feels both handmade and mechanical or robotic. I would describe the work that I'm producing with my plotters as 'handmade with a machine' - even though I'm using a machine to create art, I think the outcome carries some handmade spirit.""
Lan has embraced the use of machines, particularly plotters, to create art, finding joy in the modifications possible before the final output. She enjoys experimenting with different mark-making techniques and mediums, which allows for unique artistic expressions. Despite some skepticism about machine-created art, Lan believes her work retains a handmade quality, as it originates from her thoughtful input.
