One of my favorite things to do during my down time in my studio is to organize all of my many papers and one of those ways is to create bundles.
As I have worked with the Aesthetics of Japanese Art this year I've become more aware of the thing that is at the root of my "Intuitive" processes and that is my soul, my spirit. I've discovered that this what the Japanese call "Tamashi"
Making these bundles engages "Tamash" and also deepens our relationship to our intuitive spirit, encouraging a more organic and spontaneous (Iki) approach to art making.
In this workshop we will take a deep dive into "Tamashi" and the techniques I use to practice my Intuitive relationship to Art.
