The theme
of this highly charged drawing is the mythic concept of life,
growth, and evolution. A spiral of elaborate eyes radiates outward
from the center into a bustling cosmos. The eyes represent a
multitude of beings, souls, energies. This drawing is incredibly
detailed; you can see close-ups below. My abstract artwork is
very process-oriented and carries a spiritual meaning related
to the mystery of existence and a reverence for the unfolding
process of life. The designs in this drawing arose spontaneously
in a stream-of-consciousness manner. While working on drawings
that are this detailed, I become so immersed in the work that
drawing the images becomes a meditative process through which
I strive to achieve balance amidst chaos (similar to the concept
of mushin). The colors and designs arise spontaneously and reflect
my interest in tribal and aboriginal art, specifically in the
act of storytelling through nonrepresentational means. My abstract
art is also heavily inspired by my world travels, particularly
my visits to remote tribal villages in the Kutch region of India,
as well as my visits to temples and roadside shrines in Sri
Lanka, India, and Nepal.
