Artist
Statement
The aim of the artwork (this series of 56 figures) is to affect the
spiritual awareness and directional energy of people's lives.
By using the naked human form in a specific range of Yoga Asanas
(positions) the viewer's appreciation of the base simplicity of physical
existence is affirmed.
Admiration of the human form instigates an emotional response that,
through further understanding of yoga and meditation, can become the
catalyst for increased self-empowerment.
The description of each asana and its message of "living in the
moment" emphasises that the individual controls the direction,
strength and use of the awareness of this intangible part of themselves.
Lastly, the numerological structure of the series emphasises the
underlying order of the physical world and its links to the spiritual
world.
