To date I have cast over 50 yogi teacher torsos. My intention is to capture inner energy, breath and the atman of the teacher. It is an ongoing project.

This atman, (inner body /inner self)  imprints the plaster of the mother mold– I call it indexicality. You can observe the transfer pattern on the plaster torso, which is ready for sculpting.
