Group Stitching Mantra

2009-present; embroidery, ultrasound; dimensions variable

 

During meditative group sessions held in cultural and clinical venues, each participant embroiders a prayer flag by focusing on mudra/movement, as they stitch their mandala/vision, while simultaneously vocalizing one word of their mantra/voice each time their needle pierces the cloth.

 

The prayer flags are later exhibited with an ultrasound broadcast of the recorded chants.
