Debunking the Myth of the Artist? | art ka pakistan

https://artkapakistan.wordpress.com/2013/01/08/debunking-the-myth-of-the-artist

Just another pakistani weblog. Maudlin Gremlin and Other Monsters →. Debunking the Myth of the Artist? January 8, 2013. In building the myth, I broke my own heart. Myth of the artist. Is a notion I need to address over and over – in my work and in teaching young people who want to make things. The sheer responsibilty of it scares me silly. Every day I am frightened of what I might be doing. I am not ashamed, I am simply very, very scared. And what makes me different or distinct as a student and an artist?

https://artkapakistan.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/loadshedding

Just another pakistani weblog. Debunking the Myth of the Artist? June 25, 2012. Today I stopped pretending I was in idyllic serenity. This is a funny kind of hell. The heat makes it worse. This funny kind of hell burns me up and burns me down. My feet are burning in my silver shoes. This loadshedding situation is never going to stop, is it? How am I supposed to work in this madness? Suffering. And I cannot help but whine. Even if it does make me sound like a twat. This entry was posted in Diatribes.

Inbetween Days | art ka pakistan

https://artkapakistan.wordpress.com/2012/06/24/inbetween-days

Just another pakistani weblog. The Pain of Perspective. June 24, 2012. The summer is always a dangerous time. I hide in the summer. It is an old habit. And so, I find myself sleepless and introspective, with too many images floating in my head. I have no choice but to make sense of them. If nothing, I might produce tangible images even if they are only castles made of sand. When does meaning collapse? Calls her art carnal. Is that like pinning butterflies on walls? Derivations and real behaviors. Making ...

Egghead Neologies and Pathetic Monsters. My work began as an exploration of the randomness of nature; at times, rendering our bodies dysfunctional and therefore vulnerable and yet paradoxically evoking the brute strength of our essentially animalistic, almost obsessive need for survival. I had hoped that it would then perhaps be possible to demystify love, desire and other such abstractions as functional necessities.
