Tara Goswami – multidisciplinary artist, Assamese born 1983 in Shillong, India.
My interest lies in the expansion of human consciousness and the journey towards it.
The intersection between matter and spirit.
The crossroads between emotion and understanding.
Between the worldly and the ethereal.
Between the micro and the macro.
Seeing beauty in all its forms.
My entry points are through yoga, tantra and Indian Philosophy.
Art for me is a curative practice and my work is inextricably bound to the process of self-inquiry through my ongoing spiritual explorations and practices.
Repetition plays a big role, creating a meditative drone that opens doorways to subtle terrains. The role of the artist as shaman is a clear one for me. Works are often therefore not so much ‘creations’ but transmissions of energies that already exist. The process, equally important as the final result always involves self work to keep the ‘conscious eye’ awake.
I comfortably work across disciplines and mediums to suit my expression. Often drawing from ritual, I use simple natural materials, mantra, my own body and time.

Tara Goswami – artista multidisciplinar, nacida 1983 en Shillong,
India.
Mi interés radica en la expansión de la conciencia humana y el camino hacia ella.
La intersección entre la materia y el espíritu.
La encrucijada entre la emoción y la comprensión.
Entre lo mundano y lo etéreo.
Entre perspectivas micro y macro.
El arte para mí es una práctica curativa y mi trabajo está inextricablemente ligado al proceso de auto-investigación a través de mis exploraciones y prácticas espirituales.
Repetition juega un papel importante, creando un zumbido meditativo que abre las puertas a terrenos sutiles. El papel del artista como chamán es claro para mí. Por lo tanto, las obras a menudo no son tanto “creaciones”, sino transmisiones de energías que ya existian. El proceso, igual de importancia que el resultado final siempre involucra auto-trabajo para mantener el ‘ojo consciente’ despertado.
Trabajo cómodamente entre disciplinas y medios para adaptarme a mi expresión. Utilizo materiales naturales sencillas, mi propio cuerpo, la repetición y el tiempo.
