AN EXPERIMENT (ongoing/in process)
bodymaps emerged out of a visual meditation practice in which the entire body dictates every brush and pen stroke. In today's age of technology with its growing limiting physical demands on us (swipe, scroll, watch) I was craving for an active meditation practice that involved the entire physique and which in the end left me with a visual testament of each exercise. Every pressure point, itch, ache, sensation is being captured at the speed and intensity it emerges.
"I searched for a reality that was more fully in my possession than the exterior world, and I found it waiting for me in the body house in which I dwell, the realest and clearest reality, I only need to become aware of it in order to project its imprints as fixed focal points onto the picture plane."
