Piece description from the artist
There is a private estate outside of Knoxville with an elaborate hedge maze that leads to a meditation sanctuary adorned with Indian doors featuring bas-relief carvings depicting scenes from the Kama Sutra. More than just a sexual manual, the Kama Sutra encompasses the art of living a fulfilled life, intertwining spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects of existence. By photographing these carvings through a prism, the refracted light revealed brilliant colors, reflecting the vibrant energy and passionate pursuit of life that the sanctuary’s owner found resonant with the teachings of Hinduism.
Brandon Woods (b. 1987, Knoxville, TN, USA) is an interdisciplinary artist who creates his work at the intersection of art, craft, science, and math.
