Mudra
A simple definition of "mudra" is "hand yoga."
Yoga practitioners adopt different manual positions to affect the
systems of the body in different ways. (If you look at Hindu statues,
you'll see a variety of these graceful gestures.) When I began this
series, I found I had to hold my brush in a particular way to create
the kind of drip I wanted. It felt like a mudra and looked like a
mudra, and it required the same relaxed focus. As for the work itself,
my aim in this series is to work with color in the broadest possible
way with the simplest possible vehicle: drop after drop after drop.
