This series is inspired by my Siddha Yoga meditation practice. During meditation, I often feel a yearning within to go UP, to experience rising above and beyond my physical body, reaching out to travel within and throughout the different levels that I’m perceiving.
With this latest body of work, stripped down to the simplest form, I’ve finally arrived at capturing what I feel is the intent — to move upward by “climbing” up. I call these units LADDERS. Some pieces in this series explore that concept literally, others figuratively. I start by simply using found wood & string, or jute. I wrap the string so there’s something to hold on to, or use, while ascending...There is a meditativeness to this wrapping process — a deep feeling of purpose & intention I experience while doing it. I envision these pieces as climbing tools that can be used to heighten myself and my awareness, both spiritually & philosophically.
Please look through my Portfolio and contact me with any questions you may have.
