I have never considered the idea of having an artistic lineage. I am really enjoying contemplating how that idea can be applied to all artist's work. Thank you!!
Also I love hearing about the ritualistic intentionality you take while creating your...dharma work? Is that the right term? It's inspiring.
Yes! Artistic lineage! It's there for all creative types!
And the ritual of it is so called for. I have kind of flubbed my way through the opening I do once when I was distracted, and I had to end the session early because chaos ensued. I spilled water, I kept breaking all my pencil crayons, my cat made a nuisance of herself...it was obvious that *someone* was aware I wasn't truly focused. And yeah, dharma art. Dharma practice. It's all one and the same.
I had lots of "frisson" chills from this paragraph. DEEP BOWS!
"By preparing my surface, I was taking my seat within a lineage of artists and art that originated in what we now know as India and has since moved around the entire globe. Within the grid I can see the lineage of all the artists before me. I did not know how my own figure would look, but I could see that they would be reflected in every depiction that came before, and every one to come after."

I hate-love it when the Universe knocks me over the head with a clue-by-four. 😊

Thank you! That was what it felt like...truly. A real sensation of generation before and generations to come.
