documenting meaningless.

while trying to free my life of clutter, came across some old diaries.
now i use the diary for my work as well as art : i try to have a discipline - one side is work and other is art, but as the time passes it all gets mixed up. just like life.
back to the point : found the diaries interesting.
i am not a fan of relishing the past (in fact, i prefer forgetting it) - but the diaries took me back to the threads of thoughts, touched and untouched.
the threads are about life, art, philosophy, technic, form - anything and everything that bothered me enough to be noted.
thought of documenting them - exactly in the way i found them (without correcting grammar : many a times corrections flush away the meaning, so better left as is) - without dates, references, just what i wrote - how i wrote, leaving the whys and whens to the reader.

why art (that's all i have written on a page)
______________________________
what art / what me
me on canvas / expression -- extension - being - internal - not because i am doing but because i am being
______________________________
form

______________________________
simple / clean / light
pure. distillation.
______________________________
functional / simple / purposeful / authentic
______________________________
my art is absence
my way of seeing things around is design
my way of seeing no-things around is art
______________________________
my art is about absence / space
______________________________
when people see my art, they see space
______________________________
my art is architectural, it is a depiction of space.
______________________________
space can only be depicted by absence, not presence
______________________________
a b s e n c e
i should make me feel the space i have in my life.
space is the power to make a choice and disregard time.
______________________________
all my work is about absence
absolute can only emerge when one lets it be seen as absolute
