Integration of Artistic and Spiritual Practice

A woman asks how Rupert’s art practice informed his spirituality, and vice versa. Rupert says that it took time for him to realise that what he was looking for in his work was the same thing that he was looking for in his spiritual life – that the experience of beauty, which he was exploring in his workshop, was the same elusive experience of happiness, which he was exploring in his meditation. His spiritual apprenticeship followed very closely with his apprenticeship as an artist, which involved putting himself under the teacher, a master, and being utterly devoted without question.
