Original Nature is a series of sculptures cast from the artist’s own arms. Clear quartz crystals grow from the dislocated arms, while fingers are shaped in the form of mudras that invoke healing gestures of the body for clarifying, purifying and unblocking of energy. These are symbolic gestures of healing, regeneration and recuperation. Small bronze cast lingzhi mushrooms sprout from the stone flesh of the arms, representing a return to the earth; a return to the state of original nature.
