Yoga class begins by dedicating the practice to someone or something. Dedicating the class gives me an incredible feeling of purpose. I began to practice yoga after reading of its benefits for runners, but it didn’t take me long to realize that practicing yoga is about something deeper than flexibility.
I want to dedicate my art practice as well and wonder if there are other artists interested in dedicating their creativity to something larger than having exhibitions or selling work?
As artist Lygia Clark wrote to Mondrian: “If I exhibit it [sic] is to transmit to someone else this “moment” stopped within cosmological dynamics which the artist captures…Don’t you think that the work of art is the product of two polarities which are the dynamics of human life?”
