POST WINGS

The "Root of Prajna" series shifts Buddhist art from sacred forms to the everyday lives of sentient beings. Birds, beasts, insects, flowers, trees, and their habitats may seem mundane, yet through inscriptions, composition, and the rustic language of watermark woodcuts, they become a site for the practice of reflecting on life. The "prajna" spoken of in the works is not an abstract wisdom detached from life, but rather rooted in the postures of existence of all living things, their interdependent relationships, and the ongoing labor of the creator.
