Pattern Therapy
I am Kesava. I live in Bengaluru and I draw on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil.
Pattern Therapy started because I needed somewhere to put the lines. I would open Procreate at the end of a long day and draw until the mind went quiet. No subject. No brief. A line goes somewhere, and the next one starts where the last one ended. At some point a pattern appears. Sometimes it resolves. Sometimes it keeps going.
The timelapse is the record. You can watch every stroke appear in sequence. No cuts. No voiceover. Nothing explained. The drawing is the explanation.
I do not name what the patterns represent because I do not decide what they represent. The geometry that looks like a mandala to you might feel like static to someone else. Both responses are real. I am not the authority on what you see.
I publish because making the work visible is part of making the work. The practice is not a performance. The videos are not content. They are records of a thing that happened.
If you want to own a piece, there are two ways. A high-resolution file you can print yourself. Or a framed print that I make by hand and ship from Bengaluru. Both are real objects. Neither is a product.
