Anusuya’s Artwork
Artwork and poetry help me to explore intangible worlds and express subtle but deeply meaningful internal experiences that would otherwise escape translation into everyday language and concepts. Creative expression is a powerful and often mystical communication tool for me; the act of creating something significantly increases my feelings of physical and spiritual well-being, my sense of purpose, and the ease with which I am able to participate fully in the world.
Although I use the term artwork to describe the work I’ve created, I only use the word loosely as I don’t consider myself to be an artist per se, and I have never been trained as such. My pieces are simple spontaneous expressions of my deepest experiences, usually made without any preconceived idea of an end result. I’ve decided to refer to my drawings, paintings, collages, and sculptures as artwork because I use art materials to express myself creatively, and because I lack a more appropriate term for what results at the end of the process. By defining it in this way, the creation of artwork is something that is accessible to most everyone – regardless of training, experience, natural propensity, or varying physical or cognitive abilities.
