few notes from RISD Prof. Ken Horii’s lecture (about Indian rock-cut architecture, ellora caves) during the first week of drawing marathon class:
secular and sacred happens simultaneously
in india, the sacred part of the tree is in the shadows that it cast.
the art of necessity. that level of intensity and integrity is found through the belief in the necessity and the devotion which then provoke the work of art.
