I have been studying and completely fascinated with Tai Chi and QiGong for about 13 years. I am a certified Tai Chi instructor. During this time the Tai Chi concepts and principles have inspired many aspects of my clay work. One day, thinking about what a particular energy in a position in a form might look and feel like, I made a quick study in clay, to see. That was the first note of this series of fine porcelain Tai Chi Players.
I have made many Tai Chi figures, they are my teachers, they are reflections of what I know and tell me how I can fine tune and expand my training. Sure, they move slightly as they dry and a bit more when they are fired but still there is always room to improve. This keeps it alive for me.
It’s a continuing study …..
