yesterday, i braved the heat and went rambling around in pondicherry...not really in search of kolams but seeking inspiration in some form to get me through this blockage in the studio work. i visited the ashram and felt the sweet pull of the samadhi. i wandered through the sounds, textures, and flavors of the market. i ate a dosai (small one) and found a new favorite juice stall.
all creative work, on some level, is born in the heart. but kolams are based on math and counting and all of this left-brain activity that feels very mental. so...where do kolams come from? the head or the heart? here are some pictures of kolams from pondy:
