rishna Reddy stresses the need for human beings to become sensitive to their environment: "When you are sensitive you can truly be creative-that is the ultimate joy life has to offer." Curious about natural phenomena, Reddy sees each living being or thing as a dynamic expression of the total environment-visualizing it "as a whirlpool spinning out of a web of interpenetrating and radiating movements." In Seed Pushing Reddy renders the spiritual essence, or seed, of the universe in constant upheaval by means of colorful, web-like 'texturization" of the paper surface.
