GOVINDA SAH ‘AZAD’ ARTIST STATEMENT
My recent art practice is about combining my consciousness with body, space, and time, in a meditative sense.. Being conscious with my present position and engaging in every breath and thought, I became concerned with the micro details of my art work. For me, from the first act of making the wooden bars for a canvas, to making the three dimensional depth in the centre of the canvas, to cutting and pasting strips of newspaper, to the tiny three dimensional bubbles and cracks in the paint, through all this technical practice I am able to engage with physical processes.  Through this I am able to achieve the correct consciousness. During the process of making I think of something I left behind, and then of going toward the future. However my consciousness of my body, of space and time, never allows me to fully leave my present position.
