During the course of the project,while i was exploring the visual form i would choose for my narrative,i explored varying degrees of illustration in terms of the balance between form and content.
Through the course of my project, i continued independent illustration along the side, most of which were portraits i drew from memory.
free drawing is an attempt for me to come closer to the act of FEELING, by eliminating all those layers of sight(perception/language/learning)that exist between me and a thing.
My graphic novel talks of this very grey area in between these completes,and through this project i actually wanted to go all the way and explore this balance between one very human act-the act of seeing and one very non human act-that of feeling, both of which are compliments to a whole,and both are parts i like to explore simultaneously, in the hope that they will meet at a larger horizon.
I decided later to thus document the illustrative work i did into a separate book (since they were part of my personal exploration),simply a collection of portraits sans a narrative or concept. when placed by each other's side, the two, work for me as a search into the exptrapolation and hence understanding of form and content- in the first case making thought or that conceptual understanding of the world we have learnt to grow with- primary and the form limited by it, and in the second dissolving the same layers of sight or 'thought' from expression to be able to indulge in form alone.
form-the beautiful shapelessness, the thoughtlessness that an object carries within itself, undefined is what i wish to reach when i look at an object or my own self; representation itself is a conceptual act, yes, but we can strive to come closer to purity within the flaws of being lost.
attaching some of the works here.
