Meditation Drawings, 1999

Meditation Drawings is a set of pencil drawings that are part of Wiggins’s contemplative art practice. In this series, Wiggins utilizes a technique of visualization and meditation on twenty specific words: consciousness, reason, sleep, hunger, shadow, energy, thirst, forgiveness, species, bashfulness, peace, faith, loveliness, fortune, vocation, memory, compassion, fulfillment, mother and illusion. These words are all found in the ancient Hindu text, the Devi Mahatmya.
