Meditation Tablets




Here are a couple of pieces from a recent series entitled 'Meditation Tablets'. I learned a new type of meditation this summer based on five ancient Tibetan syllables that focus on each of the chakras. During my introduction to this practice, I came up with the idea for the first tablet 'Bliss'. I gathered driftwood for the base and used found images and cut paper to form the collage. It's a visual representation of the open-hearted way of being that I strive to access within myself. It also acts as a visual focal point during my mediations.

I then created personalized tablets for people close to my heart using images and symbols that relate to their stories. I have given most of the tablets away without taking any photos, and these are what remain.
