Bhu-Dhamma Pada – is an attempt to grasp the state of the primary embodiment of consciousness.  The primordial state, where being and non-being merge, and dissolve into the final and all-encompassing void.  It’s the ‘shunyata’ or the zero which in an endless act of divisions and multiplications, additions and subtractions, with other zeros remains the final ‘nothing’.  And in this alone can finally lie the act of ‘darshan’, where all material and mental creation finally dissolve into the state of primordial pureness.

Hansodnya feels that the hyper-activity of humans tends to destroy this state of purity and erodes the calmness required to truly create. Yet the artist has to move in and through a medium.  His difficult path is thus a movement through material towards its own negation such that the Divine may be glimpsed. The contexts of art have to be muted to reach the void.

Hansodnya’s works show a profound understanding of the materials he uses.  His workings in and through them however are not to necessarily enhance the full potential of the materials as is conventionally done, but to simultaneously negate their materialness to the state of non-materiality itself, moving towards the void.
