Egoskeleton
2012
Hand-dyed wool, linen, hand-dyed nylons.
Hand-woven using turkish and pulled-warp weaving techniques
In spiritual terms 'ego' often refers to over identifying with the mind. Shedding ones ego is what Hinduism refers to as enlightenment, Buddhism, the end of suffering, and some Christ followers, salvation (E.Tolle, A New Earth).
Egoskeleton imagines an ego whose evidence-of-being has been shed from its host. Although the remains seem not unlike a protective sanctuary the mischievous ego once thwarted its user's ability to reach the aforementioned goals.
