The meaning of ART as I see it.
I find solace in looking at this whole situation clinically – as a germ that holds potential for cure and therapy.
Let it be. Let’s begin this way. Let it be.
Just like a mathematician finds math uniformly across the entire universe, in every deed, and a physicist applies physics to every occurrence, so does the so called artist – in every act of being – such as the art of sleeping – or the art of cooking – or that of gardening – or conversation – here it becomes a verb understanding. However, to me, art is all and all is art – just such as all has math and biology and physics – to me art is just another of mankind’s means of making sense of life and vacuum and the cosmos.
To me, art is the natural rhythm of existence as the creators of this world bestowed upon us from time zero or shoonya.
Art is in every tangible particle suspended in the spheres and held down by gravity. It is the rhythm of heartbeat instilled in animals since their conception in the womb or in the egg.
It is in the persistent rhythm in which the flora draws nutrition from the earth and the sky.
Art is in the variance between everything existent and suspended in the space particle. Art is that essence or substance which makes (the chair, the pebble, the flower, a cloud, a bean, a child, a pea, a pearl, an old grandfather – each unique from each other) every thing earthly and celestial unique.
Art is the nature of existence – It is in the curves, flatness, surfaces, shapes, shadows, the lit and the unlit, spoken and silent, persistent, and the withdrawn, gradual and the sudden.
It is in knowing that one must begin and in the ability to listen to the self when it asks you to stop.
Art for me is the knowing and the unknowing.
