2002-2016 Eight Limbs
In this body of work's title, "Eight Limbs of Ashtanga Yoga, a Series Summing up 14 Years of My Studio Life and 30 Years of My Yoga Practice", I make an art historical reference to Courbet's famous 1855 "The Artist's Studio, a Real Allegory Summing up Seven Years of My Artistic and Moral Life". In my imagery, I focus on my life's passions of yoga and art...nodding specifically to the 2nd chapter of the yoga sutras of patanjali, to yantra painting, to western pop art...especially to Robert Indiana's work.
