“In spiritual thought the human form is said to have not one body but four bodies – a physical body of matter, a subtle-physical body of energy, a causal body of mental formation, and a fourth body of pure consciousness. And, I kind of take that idea and I say, OK, this is a more inclusive idea of the human form. And that’s my launching point when I do figurative art. I try to visually express all of those elements physically and include it in the form and the expression.“
