'YOGIC BACKBEND'
INK AND ACRYLIC ON PAPER
45" X 55" INCHES
2009

THIS IMAGE IS BASED ON A YOGA BACKBEND POSE. IT WAS CREATED USING GOLDEN INKS AND OTHER INDIAN INK COLOURS. USING A PIPPET TO DRAW THE INK INTO THE NOZZLE, THEN BY SQUEEZING THE FLUID ONTO THE SURFACE OF THE PAPER, BLENDING THE INKS WHICH BLEED INTO EACH OTHER, CREATES A MOLTEN METALIC EFFECT FOR THE BODY THAT SEEMS TO SHIMMER ACCORDING TO THE SYMBOL OF 'OM' FRAMED BY THE SHAPE OF THE POSE.
