Debi – The Shakti-Shanti Duality. Yaa Devi Sarvabhuteshu – Shakti Rupen/Shanti Rupen Sansthitaa – Namastasyay, Namastasyay, Namastasyay, Namo Mamahaa. DIGITAL MODIFIED ARTWORK.

CARTS - Yes this elective by Prof B Shekar has been a revelation... From music (the essence of which is 'contrast' - subtle vs obvious, continuous vs discrete) to films, and imagery, creativity in all its aspects is covered. Artwork being a primary area (we were studying Escher's artwork including Metamorphosis and Ascending and Descending and many others). Mathemetical concepts are yet to be covered. Concepts in music have been the main focus area with concepts such as shadows, reflection, gesticulations etc were new things I learnt. The notes - Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni - are based on ratios to the Golden Ratio (approximately 1.614). FACTOID: Upto a max of 12 notes or 8 notes are decernable to the human ear. ESCHER's BIRDS - Developed taking snatches from Escher's 'Liberation' - copied during class ... Currently listening to CONVERSATIONS by Ulhas Bapat & Narayan Mani - deadly combination of Santoor and Veena... Heady Music! Heaven! Hooked to this track...

Genre: Digital Art, On July 12, 2009 for July 21 (marks my mother's birthday) - Click above to view larger image. Dedicated to my mother and all mothers, past, present and future.... who bear the symbols of love and later care and nurture them! How I wish I could roam free, Careless of all that the world demands. But mother, for the thoughts of thee, And on my head thy peaceful hands.
