'Mudra' is a sanskrit term for certain hand positions used during meditation. This drawing also incorporates the concept of Kundalini, symbolized by the intertwining serpents rising along the spinal column around the energy centers of the chakras. The multiple arms not only allowed the drawing to echo Hindu and Buddhist art, but also served as a skeleton for the incorporation of additional eyes and mouths inserted into the illustration. This piece is not as successful as the original Mudra sketch, as it becomes too abstract and the eyes and mouth seem to be more a part of a collage than of some sort of emergence from the figure. The piece was included for comparison. |
