Calligraphy ambigrams
The process of creating my calligraphy ambigrams is a deeply meditative and transformative journey, allowing me to tap into my inner creativity and explore the realms of intuition and self-expression. It begins with a single word or phrase, carefully chosen for its meaning and significance. As I set out to write it in calligraphy, I embark on a voyage of discovery, an exploration of both the outer world of form and the inner landscape of consciousness.
With pen in hand, I enter a state of focused presence, where the rhythmic flow becomes a vehicle for entering a meditative state. As the strokes of each letter unfold, I surrender to the intuitive guidance that arises from within. This process, often referred to as 'automatic drawing/writing,' allows my hand to move effortlessly across the canvas as if guided by an unseen force—an extension of my innermost being.
The act of calligraphy becomes an act of communion, where the boundaries between the conscious and the subconscious blur. In this state of deep connection, the original word or phrase I began with begins to transcend its conventional form. It takes on a life of its own, expanding and transforming, embracing the essence of the word while simultaneously revealing hidden dimensions and intricate details that were previously unknown.
Symmetry plays a significant role in this transformative process. As I write, the form of the word or phrase naturally splits and mirrors itself, finding harmony and balance in its symmetrical composition. This alignment with sacred geometry enhances the visual appeal and creates a sense of unity and coherence within the artwork. It is as if the very fabric of the universe orchestrates the dance of form and pattern, infusing the ambigram with a deeper sense of resonance and harmony.
Upon completing the final strokes, I step back and behold the completed artwork for the first time. It is an awe-inspiring moment—an encounter with the mysteries and revelations that have unfolded through the creative process. The artwork stands as a testament to the merging of my intentions, the flow of intuitive expression, and the unseen forces that guide me. It is an embodiment of the original word or phrase, transformed and expanded through the journey of creation.
This process of calligraphy ambigram creation feels akin to channeling, an act of receiving and manifesting a gift from a realm beyond the conscious mind. It is a profound act of co-creation, where I become a vessel through which the artwork takes form, infused with intention, beauty, and hidden symbolism.
Through these calligraphy ambigrams, I invite viewers to join me on a transformative journey. I encourage them to explore the depths of their own creative expression, embrace the meditative flow of automatic drawing/writing, and witness the unfolding mysteries that arise when art becomes a conduit for the soul's voice.
