For Kamin, a committed Buddhist, art is a ritualistic practice aimed at the achievement of a greater understanding of oneself, nature, and the world as a whole. Kamin typically commits to a daily practice of art making for his various projects, adhering to this principle throughout the course of a year in order to create a single installation or exhibition. This often results in Kamin's works consisting of multiple parts, each adhering to a specific daily ritual. 'Sitting 2004' was inspired by the charcoal drawings the artist made after his meditation sessions everyday during 2004. The artist works in a variety of mediums, including painting, installation, printmaking, and sculpture.
