making work (i mean artwork) happen takes a lot.
when you want to make work about oneness, nothingness without being fraud, it's difficult.
no one can tell you what it is. so there is no guru.
or may be there are gurus, but when you are in eklavya method of learning, I find it better to not have one.
who will tell you what oneness is? you start looking inside your head where this weird thing came from. your habit of forgetting everything ensures that your head is formatted to learn what is oneness than say what it is. you can't remember when you heard this word first.
what is clear is a feeling that you can experience, that comes to you in your work. you have named it oneness, it might as well be called x. (but you are quite sure its oneness. because it somehow brings everything you are together, in a sharp pointed thing which you poke into the canvas and make art. or into your laptop to write words.)
That means you know what is oneness, and you don't know if that is all it is to oneness.
Can there be more? yes, there can be.
Have you experienced it totally? who knows.
Question is how will you ever know?
So you start. You can feel it, and now you want to see what you feel. So for that you have colours, lines, composition.
So how would you know how to use all of it? How to capture in visuals what you feel?
Start. Make. See. Discard. See. Discard. Make. See. Feel. Make...
Till you see it you won't know.
Till you make it you won't see. Or can you? in your mind?
