The Seekers (1991-92)

The urge and effort to seek is so quintessentially human, particularly when directed towards spiritual goals. To become silent and to open-mindedly witness is so basic to spiritual seeking. These androgynous, robe-wrapped figures are expressive of the inner experiential textures of the spiritual journey. The First Seeker is in outer stillness and in the experience of uplifting joy that is inherent in true silent witnessing. The series progresses to explore other moments of the journey: the seekers move, even interact. Some seem to speak, some listen and others to see beyond – all moments in the spiritual journey that have a kind of grace, when an interconnection is felt, or an insight forms which integrates our world of outer and inner being. The series ends with hints and appearances of transformation in the form and energy of being that has so powerfully been symbolized in the Indian traditions in mandalas and yantras.
