TIME

     The concept of time becomes more and more relevant as I deepen my spiritual practice.  I strive to only live in the present moment, without lingering over the past or being anxious for the future.  Meditation as well as yoga has helped me delve deeper into the now.  This desire for being in the present moment heavily influences my artistic practice.  My work has become a meditation practice in itself.  I stay with each mark, I become the brush, the ink, the paper.  The movement of my hand never becomes monotonous, each gesture is witnessed.  When I work, I am entirely void of thought.  I let go of the ego.  At times I become formless, I no longer belong to myself.
