SARVANGA

"Sarvanga" is a life-size female figure representing a Yoga shoulder stand posture. She is stylized into a low-poly representation of triangles and polygons. This is a technique that I call metal origami. 

Once I finish the design, I figure out how to unfold it into a flat pattern and then  have it cut out with CNC laser cutting robots. 

Then I can fold it up and weld it together where the tabs come together. This is one of several yoga inspired sculptures I have done, but this is the only one  that I have done in stainless steel. 

The yoga postures seem to turn the human figure into something more architectural, and  the low poly style enhances that too. 

Yoga has become a meaningful practice in my life, for strength, flexibility, balance  and overall health.
