EDITOR’S NOTES

Manas, the embodied Spirit is a silent spectator; it is the great power of the Master within us. It is our True Self. The Manasic Vest is an expression of the Shadow self; it is sharp and raw; smooth hand-carved crescent bone adorns the back of this vest, creating a contrast against the tightly woven waxed rope.

The handwoven patterns entwine and evolve together, meeting at the shoulders where custom-metal shoulder plates are embedded. Waxed cotton strings hang along the bottom of the piece. This one-of-a-kind wearable art piece has transformative power. Perfect as a costume piece or standalone piece for art events.
