The French philosopher Gilles Deleuze remarked in his book Negotiations that things and thoughts advance or grow out from the middle, and thats where you have to get to work, thats where everything unfolds. This prompts the question, How does an artist get to work in the middle of a process that is continuously becoming? The thesis is an unfolding narrative of the authors attempt to experientially answer the question by way of an art practice, leading to an examination of the issue of freedomfreedom from attachments and freedom to create new possibilities for all. The thesis offers a view that art practice, exploring ways to break free from the bondage of the mind, moments of freedom from oneself, is spiritual practice, is life practice.
