Art based interventions

Art is an invitation to have a conversation

Art is a medium for exploration of the conscious and unconscious and become a catalyst in creative meaning making and enabling deeper levels of connection with self and others and have conversation about what matters.

Art as an instrument can also be used to delve into business issues, that are adaptive in nature and don’t always have a clear black and white answer. Through art, we can make it safe to explore an issue emotionally and integrate it rationally

  • Crafting a path forward
  • Building Innovating culture
  • Enhancing spirit of One tribe

Leader as an Artist

If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.” –

Gospel of Thomas

As I sit with my first book “Memoirs of a Dragonfly” published after 10 years…I feel like I have known this new journey many times before. But never as an Artist . I saw it as an engineer..a consultant..a coach.. an entrepreneur. It’s not a wonder it did not happen earlier. I am humbled.

When Rumi said “Work is love made visible” I understood.. Now I see work as Art. By the way, I learnt that having 20/20 vision does not necessarily mean you have perfect vision. 20/20 vision only indicates the sharpness or clarity of vision at a distance, including peripheral awareness.

Humm..

It’s funny in its irony. I have used words and heard them being used a zillion times in the last 24 yrs, as a professional.. . “We need to create a product”, “Craft a process”, “Build a team”, “Draw our vision statement”, “Sing a slogan”, “Design a strategy”, “Imagine a future” .. Really !!!

How come we never saw ourselves as Artists? and the work we do as Art? and What might that way of seeing reveal?

This split..this othering ..is manifesting all around us.. It Time to Redefine. And maybe start building bridges. And in doing so, maybe become a better person. As Leo Tostoy, in his book “What is Art” puts it ..”..But most of all is the degree of infectiousness of art increased by the degree of sincerity in the artist”.

Art is the only way …( a poem)

Art and love are the same things

Its when you put parts of yourself out there..

And see..what it is revealing, about you.It’s autobiographical.

You go through sweet pain in the process of bringing it forth

It’s confusing, unrelenting and ..feels like work.

And it is.

When the words are incoherent and the line just does not ‘click’.

Or the paint and strokes seem scattered ..messy

Nothing like the image you had in mind.

And you watch it ..

Sometimes with anger, sometimes with despair ..

Sometimes with impatience, sometimes with curiosity

But always with faith..and truth.

Getting up.. once more…taking a deep breath

The artist keeps moving… towards himself..

The boundary between creator and creation..blurring steadily

It is and needs to be a ‘hopeless’ pursuit.

Because ‘hope’ at best can be a caricature

of what is truly waiting to be born

And often .. a hindrance.

On this journey

Even though many times it feels like, you want to just ..give up

But deep down you know ..you cant.

The artist.. like the lover

Is just as clueless of what will show up on the canvas ..

that will need to be seen, felt

Integrated..

Its the process of seeing parts of yourself, in things that are not you

Till …there is nothing and no one out there.

And there just is no other way.
